When seasonal mischief turns deadly, bookstore owner Annie Darling and her husband, Max, must again close the book on a killer, in this delightful new whodunit from the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award–winning author.

Reading about deadly doings remains as popular a pastime as ever for citizens of stormy Broward’s Rock. Now, with spring newly sprung, Annie Darling has conceived of an ingenious promotional scheme: offering a free book to anyone who can solve a series of clues from popular whodunits. Annie and hubby Max pass out their flyers all over town. But an April Fool prankster is distributing a counterfeit flyer–complete with not-so-vague accusations of murder.

Suddenly the Darling name is mud, thanks to the vicious slanders of an unknown counterfeiter. And Annie knows that she herself is going to have to do the bulk of the sleuthing. Then, just as things couldn’t seem to get any worse, they do. In the wink of a bloodshot eye, Annie’s hunt for a malicious trickster has become a desperate search for a killer. Because now more than her reputation is at stake. If she can’t rid her idyllic isle of a secret slayer, the malefactor’s next murderous “joke” may be on her!©2002 Carolyn Hart; (P)2002 Books on Tape, Inc.

the new characters are giving the series new energy, the 3 old ladies was getting a bit predictable. Kept me guessing on who did it.

Just when you think the general pace of the story slows down a bit here comes something else up and running. Good relaxing listen.

The only trouble with the audio version is that you want a pen and paper to write down all the mystery authors and books that she mentions.

This was an okay addition to the Death on Demand Mystery series. This story seemed to lack the usual fun of the other books. I'm glad that Laurel didn't play a large role in this book but the role she did play wasn't believable. The story was just off.
