Emma Lord, editor and publisher of the Alpine Advocate, is concerned about her favorite employee, Vida Runkel. Vida doesn't seem herself and is planning to visit her late husband's family who live on the Oregon coast. Vida finally confesses that the motivation for her trip is the murder of her niece Audrey. Emma accompanies Vida on her trip and meets a whole cast of new characters, Vida's in-laws. The two of them attempt to investigate Audrey's murder but are discouraged by unfriendly notes, car accidents, and uncooperative family members. Audrey is reputed to be a promiscuous woman and Emma and Vida believe that this might be the motive for murder, either by a jealous spouse or a spurned lover. There is another death and the murder's solution brings mixed feelings to the inquisitve twosome from Alpine. This book brings a change of scenery from Alpine and is a welcome addition to the series.
