Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:WHO COULD PLOT A MURDER BETTER THAN A MYSTERY WRITER?
 
At Annie Laurances Death On Demand bookstore on Browards Rock Island, South Carolina, murder most foul suddenly isnt confined to the well-stocked shelves. Author Elliot Morgans abrupt demise during a weekly gathering of famous mystery writers called the Sunday Night Regulars is proof positive that a bloody sword is sometimes mightier than a brilliant pen.
 
With Annie is the unenviable position of primary police suspect, the pretty young mystery maven and her wealthy paramour, Max Darling, embark on an investigation into a classic locked-room mystery with high stakes. For failing to unmask a brutal and ingenious killer could mean prison for Ms. Laurance. While success could mean her death.

Irresistible! [Carolyn] Hart drops big names from the mystery world like murderers drop clues and Annie and Max are the most endearing new pair of sleuths since Tommy and Tuppence! Nancy Pickard.

Solid start to the long running series. ( )

Three stars for the plot (fairly obvious; very easy to guess). Five stars for the liberal references to classic mysteries and the cat named Agatha. ( )

Set in fictitious Broward's Rock Island, South Carolina, Death On Demand features mystery bookshop owner, Annie Laurance. When local author, Elliot Morgan, is murdered by a poison dart in her shop during the Sunday Night Regulars meeting, Annie becomes suspect number one. With the help of her friend, Max, Annie must find the real killer to prove her innocence.

I can't believe I've never read this series before. The island in the book is set near Hilton Head Island, one of our favorite vacation spots. With numerous references to local sites, the setting had a wonderfully familiar feel for me. The characters had great detail and back stories, the bookshop references are great for any mystery lover, and the mystery plot was easy to follow but hard to guess, which is always mystery novel perfection.

There were quite a large number of characters, which made things a little confusing at times, but could easily be overlooked since the rest of the book was such a great quality. Overall, this series will be going on my TBR list. ( )

This is my first experience reading a novel by Carolyn G. Hart and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"Death on Demand" is the name of the bookshop which caters to my first choice of reading selections ~ Mystery and Detective Stories. With the numerous references to mystery titles and mystery authors throughout the story, I could now go back and savor exploration of those I did not recognize. I also appreciated the descriptive language used by Carolyn G. Hart that captured my attention and added to my visualizations as I was reading. Here are a few examples:
“Saulter's ulcer burned like melting tar in August.”
“…pointing out the constellations that glittered in the southern sky like diamonds against black velvet.”
“The only sounds were the occasional rustle as squirrels scampered from limb to limb, the soft thud of falling cones, and the tap of fragrant pine needles against the pitched roof of the house.”

Closing the novel there remains one question which is quite perplexing to me. What is the purpose of the dog being shown on the front cover? ( )

This was a cute and quick read, I like mysteries, though I figured it out pretty early in the book and waited for Max and Annie to figure it out. ( )
