Emma Lord Mystery

review 1: I have not yet read any of the early books in this series (this is #22), so found the complex of local characters and family alliances a bit confusing. At the same time, I enjoyed the small-town feeling and recall visiting the setting as a child. The basic story was surprising and I guess realistic with the loose ends that were distractions in the hunt for the truth. I decided to read a couple of the author's books after seeing an announcement of a visit to our local library.
review 2: Part of the Alpine series, this one has an old case reopen when the man convicted of murder might not have been the real killer. Milo, the sheriff, starts receiving letters about the case and then so does Emma.As usual, I like Emma a lot. She's strong-will and doesn't suffer... more fools lightly. I think in this one she finally realizes the depth of her feelings for Milo, which for me is a good thing. I think they're a strange, but oddly satisfying couple.The biggest drawbacks of the book are the references back to the previous case and the huge list of names to keep track of as she works through the puzzle of who the real killer might be. At times it got very confusing.Still, it's a solid story to add to the collection. less
