I'm not a huge fan of the Death on Demand series but they make for enjoyable reads. Max and Annie get caught up in a series of murders that all seem to lead back to the director of Haven. But why would Jean kill two kids? The police don't even believe that those deaths are murders much less conne...
A solid murder mystery, this novel didn’t make much of an impression. It was a nice read while it lasted, it kept me interested until the end, and the tension rose steadily, but the characters were all forgettable and pretty much interchangeable. It’s the #22 in the series, and I didn’t read the ...
I had a little trouble staying with this story, mainly because I really wasn't that concerned about the murder victim. It was a pretty good mystery, but it didn't seem to have quite the twists and turns of previous books in the series. Having said that, I will continue to read this series as long...
Bailey Ruth Raeburn may have died but that does not mean that her detective days are done. Bailey works for Heaven's Department of Good Intentions. Bailey's boss is sending Bailey to the Castle. There is a woman there named Kay Clark that need Bailey's protection. Bailey will have her hands full ...
I enjoyed this book not only because I have read and enjoyed so many books by this author, but because I learned something along the way. The story is obviously fiction, because real life would never deal the cards in the way that this couple in war torn Phillipines in WWII has them dealt. But ...
In this book in the Death on Demand series, Max gets a commission to go to a house party on an isolated offshore island with a single owner and no cell or radio service to try to determine who was the murderer of the former owner at a party 18 months previously. Of course, Annie goes with him. ...
I really like the Death On Demand series. Carolyn Hart's writing is always good, but I'm not as taken with her other series - the characters are somehow just not as tactile and reachable as Annie and Max and the rest of Broward's Rock.I know a lot of people don't like book series which have the ...
Our story begins in retrospect with an aging Gretchen receiving a letter from home from her childhood friend Barb. As Gretchen lets her mind wander back to that fateful and tragic summer, she tells the story of how she became set on the path of becoming a successful journalist. Her story takes us...
There are good things that I liked and bad things that were annoying about this book. Good: I really enjoyed not knowing for sure what was going to happen next. Annie keeps right on getting herself into all kinds of trouble and Max keeps getting her out of it. They seemed to do more investigat...
"The most delectable sleuthing couple since Nick met Nora, Annie and Max Darling manage to find quite a bit of murder in their allegedly safe and serene South Carolina island resort town. After all, murder is Annie's business -- well, sort of. She's the proprietor of the popular Death on Demand m...
Totally dug this book. I'm liking the Henrie O murder mysteries...these books keep you guessing on who the culprit is. Not like some books where it's just totally obvious who did and what is going to happen next. Unlike the Death on Demand mysteries, I enjoy Henrie O's character very much. In Sca...
This book was going to be a strictly read at lunch sort of book. I didn't plan on taking it home and finishing it up. This book was just a pleasant surprise. First of all, I asked a sub what he was reading and he told me that it was this book and he was almost finished with it. Would I like it? D...
I would like to preface this by saying that it was an enjoyable enough read and I kept going to see what would happen next. The story flowed well. However, I felt the whole time that this book didn't have an editor. There is almost no versatility in the author's word choice. Every other page appe...
Resort to Murder by Carolyn Hart is 6th in Henrie O series and the first one I've read. I enjoyed it-a quick, easy read with prose that flows and characters that are easy to watch and relate to. The situation-the marriage of two older people whose children are opposed to the event-is not new but ...
