A Death On Demand Mystery
Synopsis
Max Darling hasn't been interested in crime since his brush with a seductive young woman put him in danger of losing his freedom. He even refuses to talk to a woman who calls for help and says she is afraid. The caller leaves word she's hidden something in the antebellum house Max and his wife, Annie, are restoring. When Annie finds out, she hurries to the woman's home, only to discover her shot. Annie hears her final whisper as she holds the dying woman's hand.
Evidence links the dead woman to a nearby home, where a fortune in gold coins has gone missing. The gold coins, rare Double Eagles, were stolen from a house filled with visiting family members, twenty somethings hungry for money and several with secrets they must keep.
Gwen’s dropout son, Robert, is implicated in both the theft and the murder, but, Max believes Robert’s been framed and works to clear his name.
My Thoughts:
As usual, Hart has put together an intriguing and attention holding mystery. The characters are their usual interesting selves and I love the results! A mystery to the very end!
