Publisher Description
6th in Death on Demand series At Annie Laurance's Death on Demand bookstore on Broward's Rock Island, South Carolina, murder suddenly isn't confined to the well-stocked shelves. Author Elliot Morgan's 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 in 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. Failing to unmask a brutal and ingenious killer could mean prison for Ms. Laurance. Success could mean her death. Who could plot a murder better than a mystery writer?

"Even though this is the first in the series and the author improves her efforts on later books, I still found this to be charming and innovative introduction to the series and the characters. I found she pulled me in immediately and held my attention throughout. She opened with a list of items, which sounds dull but was so well written that if captivated me. Her use of painting to reflect mysteries was original ( to me at least) and her knowledge of the field of mystery writing was impresive."

" I really enjoyed this book. This is an older book but I liked that I didn't know for sure who the murderer was until it was almost revealed. I will read the next book in this series soon. :) Thaks for a great book. "

" A fun, classic murder mystery, though the constant references to other mysteries gets old. "
— Dana, 12/31/2013 -
" Very good writing. Read very quickly and was anxious to get back to it when I had to leave it. This author will definitely be on my list to read next book. "
— Brenda, 12/20/2013 -
" Cozy mystery series. Two amateur sleuths, one of which lives in a tree house on a tiny island off the coast of South Carolina. Charming setting. "
— Elena, 12/15/2013 -
" It was a good book but a little too easy to figure out who the murderer was. I had it figured out within the first few chapters which kind of takes the suspense out of the book. But overall I enjoyed it. "
— Debbie, 12/8/2013 -
" A quick and easy read. Did not solve the mystery. Will have to keep reading the series. "
— Matt, 12/3/2013 -
" I read this one long ago, and enjoyed it more this time. I especially liked the references to classic mysteries. It made me decide to spend the summer reading some of the classics-if I can find them. Unfortunately there's no DoD-like mystery bookstore around here! "
— Michele, 12/3/2013 -
" B; I think this is the first, but the CD jacked said #6 in the series. Still a good listen. "
— Cathy, 12/3/2013 -
" can't wait to read the whole series "
— Del, 12/3/2013 -
" I read a few books in this series. I don't really recommend them, but they're easy to read when you don't want to think too hard. "
— Shemsi, 11/19/2013 -
" Lots of suspense and plot twists. The interaction between Max and Annie was a little silly. "
— Donna, 11/16/2013 -
" Annie and Max are GREAT!!!! This is a fun series because of the small town feel and the people who live there! "
— Candy, 11/14/2013 -
" Read this cozy mystery for our Genre Study. Found out what a cozy mystery is - don't think I like this sub-genre! "
— Liz, 4/30/2013 -
" I enjoyed this old-school mystery. Max and Annie were good together, and she had wasn't too flaky as many cozy mystery lead characters can be. I will probably be reading more of Carolyn Hart's work in the future. "
— Kim, 1/4/2013 -
" Stacey's Pick. Annie, who runs a mystery bookstore, becomes involved in a mystery herself when she's suspected of committing a murder in her own store. Along with a fun story, you also get great recommendations for other must-read mysteries "
— Katy, 12/4/2012 -
" This is a light mystery about a bookseller who must deal with some angry mystery writers. "
— Jessica, 11/1/2012 -

" This is a great new cozy series to read for the summer. It deals with a lot of romance, intrigue and suspense, all wrapped up in a locked-room mystery, a new kind of cozy series, with an interesting setting and a good storyline for a quick read. "
