Annie Darling, owner of the Death on Demand mystery bookstore, is understandably upset. It isn't like her p.i. husband Max to abruptly disappear—and homicide is definitely not his style. But when his car is found abandoned on a remote road with a brutally slain, once-beautiful young woman nearby and the murder weapon stashed in the trunk, Annie's worst fears seem justified.
The police have Max all but tried and convicted—except for Chief Billy Cameron, whose unshakable belief in his friend's innocence prompts his removal from the case. And as a media circus descends on tiny Broward's Rock, Annie will have to place her own life in jeopardy to clear her husband's name. But time is running out—and she has only one slim chance to unmask a killer who just may have committed the perfect crime.

      Annie Darling, owner of the Death on Demand bookstore on an island in the Atlantic, and her husband, Max, are plunged into a murder case when Max is suddenly arrested. Kate Reading's narration captures Annie's terror, blunting the unbelievable (and unexplained) elements of why the wealthy and socially prominent Max could have been chosen as the fall guy in a murder setup. Reading does an especially good job of making Darling's cohorts--from mystery writers and fans to local cops--come to life, but there are few South Carolina accents. Annie in disguise as a Chicago friend of the victim is a little too flat--but a terrific distinction from her chipper self. D.P.D. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from April 3, 2006
      Hart pulls out all the stops in the fast-paced 17th installment of her acclaimed Death on Demand cozy series (after 2005'sDeath of the Party ), set on the South Carolina island of Broward's Rock. When bookstore owner Annie Darling's PI husband, Max, accepts a new case and fails to come home, she's frantic and calls in all her friends, including the police. The authorities organize an effective search that leads to the body of an attractive woman near Max's abandoned car; in the trunk is the murder weapon. Portrayed by the press as an unfaithful husband and killer, Max is arrested as soon as he surfaces. Annie goes undercover, determined to clear Max's name even if it means putting herself in a cunning murderer's path. Lovable supporting characters, notably Emma Clyde, resident mystery author and Annie's best friend, help make this one of Hart's finest offerings. Hart has won multiple Agatha, Anthony and Macavity awards.
