DEATH WALK IN is the 18th addition to Carolyn Hart's Death on Demand Series. This series has not only a well established plot line, but provides hours of reading and search pleasure. If you are interest in mysteries and looking for new authors and titles a visit to Annie Darling's Death on Demand is worth the trip.
Max Darling is recovering from being badly stung by a set up and refuses to take a call from Gwen Jamison. Max's secretary alerts Annie who rushes to Gwen's home to discover her dying. Clues and circumstances lead the police to arrest Gwen's son Robert, but Max must redeem himself and works to prove the young man's innocence. A horde of stolen coins are at the root of the murders and they are reported to be hidden in the old home Annie and Max are restoring. Any way they turn they are involved. Favorite characters from the series are Max's mother, Annie's best customer and their island's resident mystery writer are off on a cruise, but with modern technology they are able to lend assistance.Writing as a Small BusinessSins of the Fathers: A Brewster County NovelNatchez Above The River: A Family's Survival In The Civil WarQualifying Laps: A Brewster County NovelThe Bluegrass Dream: A Wilderness Adventure of Early Settlers

Carolyn Hart is back with another book in the Death on Demand Mystery series. Annie Darling, owner of "the best bookstore north of Miami", and her husband Max live on Broward's Rock, a beautiful fictitious island off the coast of South Carolina. They are refurbishing the lovely old Franklin house which becomes a pivotal part in the mystery. First some very valuable coins are stolen and then Annie receives a panicky call from Max's secretary who says that a woman called and said that she hid something valuable in the Franklin house. This is the beginning of a trail of murder and deception, as Annie and Max try to find the perpetrators while dodging some dangerous situations themselves. The devoted Darlings are the center of a group of interesting characters, and Carolyn Hart never fails to entertain mystery fans with her "closed room" technique, borrowed from Agatha Christie.
Welcome return to Broward's Rock June 2, 2008
The newest entry in the popular Death on Demand series by Carolyn Hart returns the reader to Broward's Rock, described as the "loveliest of the South Carolina sea islands," and indeed the writer makes the town sound charming as its flora and fauna are lovingly described. The focal point of the action is the historic ante-bellum Franklin House which Annie and Max Darling are refurbishing. As the tale opens, Max is en route to the old house when he receives a call from a frightened-sounding woman seeking his help. Max runs Confidential Commissions, described as an agency devoted to assisting problems in solving problems. Insistent that it is not a detective agency, and having had a particularly nasty experience the last time he heeded a similar cry for help, he instructs his secretary to tell the woman to call the police. When the woman's dead body is discovered by Annie, his wife, shortly afterwards, he is overwhelmed with, as Annie describes it, "a good man's concern that he'd walked by on the other side of the road, leaving a helpless woman in jeopardy."
Though he might not have been able to prevent her death, Annie and Max determine to find the murderer. There seems to be a connection between the murder and the theft of some very valuable coins from the home of the dead woman's employer, the esteemed Grant family, only a few days prior. The convoluted relations between the various family members are exposed as the investigation continues, and another murder occurs. The killer appears to be "a shadowy figure who seemed to be able to move unseen leaving death behind."
The Darlings are as dogged as one might hope in their efforts to uncover the identity of the thief and the murderer [are they one and the same?]. Along the way we again meet two of the series' most delightful characters: Agatha, the elegant black cat who resides in the bookstore Annie owns, Death on Demand, described as the finest mystery bookstore north of Miami, and Dorothy L, the fluffy white cat owned by Max, named after arguably two of the best practitioners of the art of the small-town mystery, in whose footsteps this author
 trite and unimaginative May 23, 2008

When I think of the long list of good mystery writers to choose from, I am surprised that Carolyn Hart would be on anyone's list of good writers or that she would have a readership - which, sadly, she seems to have acquired. More dumbing down of our literary tastes.
