Review: Scheduled To Die by Alan Cupp

A Mysterious Review of Scheduled To Die by Alan Cupp. A Carter Mays Mystery.

Review summary: This crime novel has an intriguing premise that immediately draws the reader in. The setup and early execution of it goes well, with the narrative moving along at a brisk pace. But about halfway through, there's a hint at where the story is going and how it will play out in the end, and it's not promising at all. (Click here for text of full review.)

Scheduled To Die
Alan Cupp
A Carter Mays Mystery
Henery Press (June 2015)

Publisher synopsis: Her prognosis didn't come from a medical professional, but rather the handsome, charming man she met while on a business trip. After an evening with charismatic stranger, Mike Sweeney, filled with potential and intrigue, things quickly deteriorate into the most frightening and traumatic experience of Dana's life.

Presented as an opportunity to be envied, Sweeney instructs Dana to spend the next year living life to the fullest, pursuing every extraordinary opportunity she ever dreamt about. When the year is up, Mike intends to reconvene for a romantic evening that will end with Dana's death. However, if Dana dares to contact law enforcement, her impending death will come much quicker and be far more brutal.

Paralyzed by fear of the seemingly ever-present Sweeney, Dana hires Carter to protect her and stop her psychopathic suitor.
