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

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

This was an enjoyable ready. It is a historical cosy mystery. The author does an amazing job with the characters. I especially love the character of Alyssa. She is a very strong willed and determined character which ladies didn’t tend to be in that era.
Alyssa has joined some other girls on a boat to Canada. They are destined to become wives and are sailing towards that destiny. All of them that is except Alyssa. She has plans of her own which doesn’t include being someone’s wife.
She is planning on leaving on another ship to return home however her plans change when a murder takes place in the town of Runs End.
It is now a race against time to find the murderer who is becoming more and more desperate. Add to this an epidemic that hits the town which means no one can leave.
Will Alyssa find the killer and keep her new friends safe? Will she ever be able to complete her journey home? Or are the odds stacked so high against her that he plan is impossible
This story is full of twists and turns which will keep the reader guessing and gripped to the story
