Murder in Prospect (Eve Sawyer Mystery Series Book #5) by Jane Suen – Review by Angela Hayes

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

4.5 Stars

‘ I needed to think about how to proceed. A murderer might be in our midst. ’

First let’s take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous cover….. my favourite of the series, so far!
Murder In Prospect is the fifth intriguing instalment in the Eve Sawyer Mystery Series by Jane Suen. This series just gets better and better with each new instalment, and I really enjoy following Eve along as she unravels some puzzling little mysteries.
We join Eve Sawyer, who sets off to support her friend, Bob, who has recently lost his beloved uncle. Things don’t quite add up – and Eve becomes suspicious about the events leading up to the Uncle’s death. And as we’ve come to expect, murder and plenty of trouble seem to follow Eve wherever she goes. What happens makes for an engrossing read.
Murder In Prospect is another great little cozy mystery – well woven with clever little touches that kept me guessing. A story of crime and investigation, friendship, amateur detective/s, a whodunit feel, agendas, a plot for revenge, suspense, drama, danger, interesting characters, secrets, lies/deception, tension, and a small-town setting.
This story could be read as a standalone. But, I highly recommend reading the previous books, as there are some spoilers for other book/s contained here – while the other books also provide some great little mysteries to untangle with character details, development, and other relevant information which will certainly enhance your appreciation and enjoyment of this book (as well as the series as a whole).
Can’t wait to see what Eve gets up to next. Bring on Book #6!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Jane Suen!
