Review #74
A Death on Demand Mystery with book store owner, Annie Laurance and PI Max Darling.
Mishaps and murder occur on the set of the Broward Rock Players production of Arsenic and Old Lace in the high school auditorium. When one of the cast members, womanizer Shane Petree winds up shot to death in the boiler room, a pompous prosecutor tries to pin the murder on Max Darling, Annie Laurance's fiancé. (Annie just wants a simple, quiet wedding but, her soon to be mother-in-law, Laurel, is helping to plan it and her elaborate, “International” suggestions are driving Annie nuts!)
Annie checks the greasepaint and glitter of backstage life and with her friend,Henny’s help, uses the methods of her favorite fictional sleuths to solve the crime. If she isn’t careful, she'll be the next to star in a death scene because this murderer doesn’t play fair!
I have never read a bad Carolyn Hart book! Charming characters, interesting plots and funny moments make them all worth reading.
In addition to the Death on Demand series, Carolyn Hart has a series based on amateur sleuth Henrie O and another on ghost detective, Bailey Ruth.
