the christie caper

The characters on the island are fun and I love Max & Annie. Max's mother is a stitch. The plot was excellant really made you interested to see what happened.

What a great beginning to a series

I TOTALLY loved this book. It kept you engrossed until the end. Everytime you think you have it figured it out something else happens and you have to start all over again. The ending was a BIG surprise! Can't wait to read the next book.

A fabulous addition to the world of female sleuths!

This book has everything a reader could want: suspense, intrigue, lovely setting, and a hilarious cast of characters...I love the Annie Darling mysteries and this book is no exception!

First in an enjoyable series

A delightful book, with endearing characters, this is the first in a series. The setting, an island off the South Carolina coast, is pleasantly unusual, and Annie's affection for it and for her mystery bookstore, Death on Demand, "the best mystery bookstore this side of Atlanta," as well as the whole genre of mysteries, are contagious. The comments on various mystery authors on whom she dotes have me dogearing pages so I can hunt up books by enticing authors I've never tried. I look forward to Annie's comments on books I have read or the appearance of books I recognize in her monthly mystery painting contest. The courtship is a lot of fun, and Max Darling's winning move in the campaign will bring a smile to the face of anyone who treasures books.
