Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Annie Darling, proprietor of Death on Demand, the finest mystery bookstore north of Miami, once again proves a resourceful sleuth in Hart's scintillating 18th Death on Demand mystery set in the South Carolina island community of Broward's Rock (after 2006's Dead Days of Summer). When Annie's devoted PI husband, Max, who's busy renovating historic Franklin House, puts off returning a frantic phone call from a prospective client, Annie later discovers the caller, Gwen Jamison, dying of a gunshot wound in Gwen's house. It appears Gwen wanted to tell Max that after finding on her property eight gold coins worth nearly $2 million that were recently stolen from Gwen's employer, island civic leader Geoffrey Grant, she had hidden the coins at Franklin House. When Gwen's dropout son, Robert, is implicated in both the theft and the murder, Max believes Robert's been framed and works to clear his name. This tight, Agatha Christie–style puzzler will keep readers guessing to the end. (Apr.)

Bookstore owner Annie Darling and her PI husband, Max, are restoring Franklin House, an antebellum home on the small South Carolina island of Broward’s Rock. A mysterious woman calls Max’s office and leaves a message that she has hidden something in Franklin House, but Max treats it as a crank call. When Annie hears about the call, she goes to the woman’s house and finds her dying of a gunshot wound. Is there a connection between the murder and Franklin House? When someone takes a shot at Max while he is chasing an intruder who was breaking into Franklin House, he and Annie realize that they and their new home are in danger. Hart’s many cozies are distinguished by the carefully constructed motives that drive the crimes. Readers will be drawn to the island setting and the intricate web of broken relationships that frame the puzzle. --Barbara Bibel
