Blackmail. Betrayal. Murder. This is not the job Alex remembered.
Although Alex Paige is eager to get back in the field after a year off for cancer treatment, she’s afraid she’s forgotten how to be a travel writer. A visit to an idyllic resort seems like an easy way to get her feet wet. Lucky for her, she’s put at ease when she meets a fellow survivor.
But that comfort is destroyed when Alex discovers a greedy developer she’d put in jail during her journalism years is buying the resort. Alex knows if he’s involved, something must be fishy.
She’s quickly proven right when his plans are revealed. But the real threat comes when the evil felon’s partner is murdered.
With the help of her irrepressible friend William and a lantern-jawed boat captain, Alex is determined to save the resort and marina. Can she expose the real killer before she becomes the next victim?
Peril on the Peninsula is the first book in the Alex Paige Cozy Travel Mysteries Series. If you love engaging characters, dastardly villains, and a setting that’ll have you booking your next adventure, you’ll love Theresa L. Carter’s debut novel.

Her writing is very good, but she takes a long time to set up the story. I’m 25% in and still no mystery, no crime, no start to an investigation. Her dialogue is great. Her character development is excellent. She paints the scenes beautifully. She’s great at everything but getting to the darn point! Based on other reviews I’m guessing it will turn out to be an exciting tale once she finally gets to it. But I won’t give her less than four stars because she obviously has talent, and I may just be too impatient! If you’re like me and prefer being hooked early, you may want to choose another author. If not, the other reviewers promise a great story, so go for it, you’ll probably love it!
Alex is a former investigative journalist who is now a travel writer after surviving cancer. Her first writers gathering turns out very differently than she expects. Well-written with excellent character development and an interesting mystery. Alex hasn't lost her touch and keeps going until the villain is revealed. Twists and turns along with intrigue and danger throughout. I received a copy of the book and this is my voluntary, honest review.
I like the characters and the story. Well written and carefully created. Recommended.I received this as an ARC and this is my honest review.
