“Dare to Die” by Carolyn Hart
Review #80
A Death on Demand Mystery with Annie Darling and her PI husband, Max Darling
A mysterious young woman returns to the island to make amends, but a ruthless killer fears she will recall one long ago, foggy night.
Annie owns Death on Demand, a mystery bookstore in Broward's Rock, one of the idyllic South Carolina Sea Islands. This time Annie leaves her bookstore in the meddling hands of her mother-in-law, Lauren, and steps in to help her friends, Ingrid and Duane Webb, by taking care of their motel while they attend to a family crisis. One of the motel's new residents is a lonely and troubled young woman named Iris Tilford. Iris has returned to Broward's Rock after disappearing more than 10
years ago following the tragic deaths of two of her high-school friends. Annie invites Iris to a party she and Max are giving. This party happens to include some of Iris’ old friends and classmates. By the time the evening is over, Iris is brutally murdered, and the best suspects are some of those very same classmates. The Darlings vow not to get involved, but soon their own lives are in danger, and... the body count escalates.
This is the nineteenth book in the Death on Demand Mystery series and just as good as the other eighteen.
