The Prospect of Death (An Alyssa Chalmers Cozy Mystery) by Carmen Radtke – Review by Carrie Reed

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

5 stars!

I read this in one sitting, once I got started I couldn’t stop. Alyssa is awesome, she is caring, strong, independent, loyal and smart. All the girls under her look up to her and she is treated almost equal to Matron and the men of the town. When a death occurs and one of her girls, Rosie, gets accused, Alyssa will not stop trying to find out who the real killer is. At first I wasn’t a big fan of Rosie, when she first left I said good riddance, but she really just needs guidance, friends and love. Alyssa, seems to have two men vying for her attentions throughout the book, and honestly I would have been happy with her being with either one of them. As for the murderer, I did not see it coming. There were a couple of people I suspected but the one who is at fault, was very far down my list. I really enjoyed watching Alyssa, Mr. Kendrick, The doctor and all of the others uncovering clue after clue to find out who killed Bert Harper. I highly recommend this read!
