The Prospect of Death (Alyssa Chalmers mysteries, #2)The Prospect of Death by Carmen Radtke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great mystery story which I enjoyed reading. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. This is a well written story that is full of suspense and just hard to put down. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story. They are strong, creative, supportive characters that brought the story to life for me. They have great growth which makes the story easy to read. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. A story about finding a murderer in order to restore peace but the murderer is getting desprate. You don’t want to miss what happens next in this story. It is a great story that I highly recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a wonderful read from start to finish. I found the writing very charming and the story line heart warming and engaging at the same time. I love a good mystery, as I think a lot of us do, but this one really appealed to me as the characters really made the story!

For starters I loved Alyssa. She had the brain of someone not only intelligent, but someone who had her street smarts as well. The story takes off at a good pace, and I felt I was there in the time frame of the story solving the mystery that was at food. I really had a lot of fun reading this one! Loved it!

The story was a truly wonderful read, and I for sure will be reading more of Alyssa and her friends adventures. One was certainly not enough! Highly recommend this amazing author and this book!

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!

Carmen has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side.

She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter.

When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life.

The shaken but stirring novel made it to the longlist of the Mslexia competition, and her next book and first Alyssa Chalmers mystery, The Case Of The Missing Bride, was a finalist in the Malice Domestic competition in a year without a winner.

Since then she has penned several more cozy mysteries, including the Jack and Frances series set in the 1930s.

Carmen shares her home with her human and her rescue cat Holly.
