Publisher Description

Annie Darling's yuletide preparations have been put on hold because her mother-in-law, Laurel, has taken to chatting up ghosts in the local graveyard. Across Broward's Rock, onetime movie star Marguerite Dumaney Ladson has called together all of her kin and their exes for a gala celebration. Among the honored guests are Annie's father and Dr. Emory Swanson. Ladson has fallen for Swanson's new-age-pseudo-occult gobbledygook. Right after the announcement that she's leaving her fortune to the charlatan's Evermore Foundation, there's a murder. And the finger of suspicion seems to be pointing straight at Annie's recently arrived deadbeat father. Annie doesn't believe for a minute he's guilty. When a second murder occurs, Annie realizes she will need all the help her easy-going P.I. husband, Max, can offer.

"Great story!! As the murder unfolded, I knew the murderer-but as more info came forth, I was proved wrong. The story's main character's are becoming a bit.....much? unkempt? kinda-out there?? but the murder storyline is sharp as ever. "

    " This was the first book that I read of Carolyn Hart and I plan on reading more. I thought I knew who was guilty until the very end. A very fun read. "

    " A fun romp of a mystery. Nothing particularly special, but enjoyable. Based on the books I've read so in this series, this would be an appropriate recommendation for young mystery readers. "

    " Lots of fun, and you didn't need to read the previous 11 books in the series to follow what was happening. I'll try more in this set. "

    " I recognize that the setting of this series IS a bookstore that caters to mystery readers but the product placement and name dropping in the first 25 pages almost exceeds the whole of "The Truman Show"! One wonders if she could possibly name EVERY mystery writer since the late 1800s in 294 pages. "

    " I've always enjoyed Hart's "Death on Demand" mysteries, and they give me an idea of other mystery writers to explore. They're intimate and fun to read, and the puzzles are well drawn. "

    " This one had me guessing most of the way through it - no real clear villian except the one person who didn't get killed til near the end. It kept my interest as most of her books do. I do love a good mystery! "

    " I love the Death on Demand series and this was another good one. My only question is how does Annie run her book shop when she's always out solving murders?! Fun read. "

    " This was a quick read. The mystery was good, not 100% obvious who the killer was. I like that the main character owns a mystery book store and has lots of recommendations. "

    " I really enjoyed this book as I do all the Death on Demand series--although they are somewhat alike. There are so many wealthy old families on Broward's Rock and they are always busy killing each other off, or offing themselves. "

    " This was a great mystery with an interesting plot. I would have given it 4 stars, but the cat posters really were distracting and unnecessary. I mean, what was she thinking? You can't see them! And she describes and quotes about 15 of them in the book! "

    " Always a treat to spend time with Max and Annie darling. And I always end up my read with a list of new books (and some old) to look for and read next courtesy of Death on Demand...Annie's Mystery Bookstore! "
