About this listen

Setting sail for matrimony—or something sinister?

Meet Alyssa Chalmers. Victorian emigrant. Reluctant bride. Intrepid sleuth.

1862. When a group of young Australian women set sail for matrimony in Canada, they believe it’s the start of a happy new life. But when one of the intended brides goes missing, only Alyssa Chalmers, the one educated, wealthy woman in the group, is convinced the disappearance is no accident. She sets out to find out what happened.

Has there been a murder?

Alyssa is willing to move heaven and earth to find out the truth. She is about to discover that there is more to her voyage into the unknown than she bargained for, and it may well cost her life.…

If you love sparkling dialogue, unusual settings, and the charm of the Golden Age mysteries, you’ll enjoy Carmen Radtke’s cozy whodunnits, perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, Elizabeth Peters, and Rhys Bowen.

What a fab listen this was a story of young women heading out from Australia to find husbands. Watched over by a matron and a doctor who is attractive to the young women.
They’re hidden away but are discovered and their journey changes a little for the better.
One of them then goes missing and how things change again.
A good interesting story and a very good narrator too.

A good book
