The Prospect of Death (Alyssa Chalmers Cozy Mystery Series Book #2) by Carmen Radtke – Review by Angela Hayes

The Prospect of Death by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars

The Prospect of Death is the second book in the Alyssa Chalmers Mysteries series by Carmen Radtke. The story is a well-woven historical cozy mystery, a bit of a ‘whodunit’ set in the 1862 gold rush in British Colombia. With plenty of danger, some crime & investigation, a smallpox epidemic, mail-order brides, secrets and – a devious and dangerous adversary to contend with.
Alyssa is part of the group of brides who arrive to the gold-mining town only to embroiled in a murder investigation. She teams up with some locals to try to uncover the murderer and get to the bottom of the mystery- but things may not be quite so simple.
Even though this is the second book in the series, it can definitely be read as a standalone, without feeling like you are missing any details. In saying that, though, I will be hunting down the first book to explore before continuing this series.
A great little mystery.

Thank you, Carmen Radtke!
