Murder in Prospect (An Eve Sawyer Mystery) by Jane Suen – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Murder in Prospect: An Eve Sawyer Mystery by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murder in Prospect is the fifth book in the Eve Sawyer Mystery series. I was drawn to it as I have read and enjoyed the previous book in the series and other stories by this author. Although it is part of a series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone mystery as aside from a few references to earlier adventures it is a fairly self-contained story.

Eve’s friend Bob brings her along to visit Prospect, the town where his late uncle lived. He feels there’s something not quite right about his uncle’s death and Eve’s investigative skills may prove useful. Eve shares Bob’s belief that there is more to the case than meets the eye, and the pair attempt to piece together a bigger picture of Will’s life and death.

This is a captivating mystery with a cast of characters who may or may not be connected with the case. I particularly liked young Serena, who provides some insights that give Eve plenty to think about!

I’d recommend this book to fans of mysteries set in interesting locations – I enjoyed exploring the historic mining town with Eve! It gets four stars from me.
