Death at the Door: A Death on Demand Bookstore Mystery
It’s a lovely October day on Broward’s Rock, the offshore island where Annie Darling has her bookstore, Death on Demand. Jane Corley and Irene Hubbard are playing golf, enjoying a midweek game and looking forward to a birthday party for Jane’s younger brother. Within the week, however, Jane will be dead, bludgeoned with a mallet used by her artist husband; her murder follows by a couple days the presumed suicide of Dr. Paul Martin. The mayor announces that the police chief has arrested Jane’s husband and believes the case to be wrapped up, refusing to listen to the protests of the doctor’s sister, or to believe that the two deaths are connected. But Annie and her husband, Max, do listen and puzzle over the sketch Martin had left. So Annie and Max, with help from the Intrepid Trio—Henny Brawley, Emma Clyde, and Max’s mother, Laurel Roethke—go into action to find the real killer. They enlist Marian Kenyon, the reporter for the island’s newspaper, to help ask the questions they cannot. Fans know it’s always nice to visit Broward’s Rock, especially in the off-season. --Karen Muller--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
