A novel by Carmen Radtke
Same great book - new title! This mystery was formerly published as Glittering Death.
Gold, wedding bells… and murder!
Meet Alyssa Chalmers. Victorian emigrant. Reluctant bride. Intrepid sleuth.
1862. A group of brides from Australia have arrived in British Columbia, and love is in the air - until the happiness in the prospectors’ town “Run’s End” is shattered when the hotel-owner is found dead. To make matters worse, something is wrong with the stored gold at the hotel, and an epidemic makes it impossible for anyone to leave
town.
The brides pin all their hopes on their friend Alyssa Chalmers to find the murderer
and restore peace in their new home. But the killer is cunning, and desperate…
Praise for the first Alyssa Chalmers mystery:

Iwas captured as soon as I started it
