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.

In 1862, with no real future in sight, a group of Australian women with no family, set off on a boat to Canada to become wives. Their presence on the ship was to be a secret, known only to certain staff members. When one of the male passengers stumbles upon them, the secret is out. They decide to let the women mingle with the other passengers, but when one of the women disappears, it is assumed she fell overboard. Alyssa Chalmers, one of the women who happens to be well educated and not poor like the other women, does not believe she just fell overboard, she believes she was "thrown" overboard. With the help of the ships doctor they investigate to see who actually committed the crime before they arrive in port and the person gets away with it.
It was very interesting to learn about how women left on their own tried to make a new life by signing up to be a bride to someone they didn't even know.
Excellent narration.
