Annie Darling—owner of the mystery bookstore, Death on Demand—prefers fictional crimes as opposed to the real things. But in one tragic week, two acts of violence shake the island community of Broward’s Rock. First, a beloved doctor is found shot dead, seemingly by his own hand. Only days later, a local artist is arrested after his wife is found murdered, bludgeoned by her husband’s sculpting mallet.
Convinced her brother did not commit suicide, the doctor’s sister turns to Annie and her husband, Max, for help. She has found a cryptic sketch her brother drew, linking him with the murdered woman. Did someone want them both out of the picture?
With the police considering both cases as good as closed, it’s up to Annie and Max to sort through a rogues’ gallery of suspects to see if someone is trying to frame the artist. But if Annie isn’t careful, she may find herself having her own brush with death…
"Understated local color and a charming cast of supporting characters will keep Annie’s fans glued to the page." - Publishers Weekly
"With the 24th installment in her popular “Death on Demand” mysteries, Hart once again demonstrates her mastery at creating a refreshingly tradition mystery. Annie and Max are charmingly romantic as always, and Annie’s trio of sleuthing sidekicks adds some welcome notes of light humor to the story. Most importantly, Death at the Door’s cleverly crafted plot and surfeit of potential suspects will definitely keep readers interested in figuring out whodunit wonderfully entertained." - John Charles, for Reader to Reader
"Fans of the Death On Demand series are in for a true rollercoaster ride with this installment. I know I loved every minute of it! And happily, I have book twenty-five, DON’T GO HOME, waiting right next to me!" - Lisa K's Book Reviews
RT Book Reviews - "This long-running series continues to produce strong storylines and wonderful characterization. Crime-solving duo Annie and Max Darling complement each other’s investigative styles; while Max is low-key, Annie is all about the action, which often lands her in dangerous situations. The mystery’s careful construction will draw in readers. Once the key players are established in the beginning, the fun is in uncovering their motivations, untangling their secrets and connecting the dots along with Annie and Max." - Read the full review
The Season for Romance - "This book has an interesting plot and keeps the reader guessing as to who is guilty and who is innocent. Annie and Max are a modern day Nick and Nora and their love for each other comes through in every scene. ." - Read the full review
