Alpine Zen : An Emma Lord Mystery (9780804177481) (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Vida repeated. “Yes, of course, she was Tricia’s maid of honor. A slim, dark-haired girl with a bit of a wild streak. Nice-looking in an exotic sort of way. She had a great deal of nervous energy, unable to stay still for very long. I recall stopping by the ski lodge reception desk when she worked there. Valerie never seemed to have the time—or the focus—for a friendly chat.” In other words, Val had evaded Vida’s interrogation techniques. “You’ve never talked about her,” I said. “Neither has Milo. But she sounds hard to forget.” Vida fingered her chin. “Well now. She wasn’t in Alpine very long. Once she graduated from high school, she went into the Peace Corps. She mailed some articles about what she was doing in…Jamaica, I believe. That, of course, was before I started working here.” Prehistoric, I thought, in terms of the Advocate. “But she came back to Alpine, right?” “Of course,” Vida asserted, implying that any sensible person would do the same.
