I've always enjoyed Carolyn Hart's "Death on Demand" mystery series about Annie Darling, the owner of a mystery book store on Broward's Rock, South Carolina. This is the 19th book in the series. I think that I like the series so much because Hart is able to capture the essence of life on a fictional island located near the very real Hilton Head Island (one of my favorite places). However, this book was not one of the best of the series. It had an enjoyable story and was a perfect choice for the long hours that I have been sitting in a hospital lately. However, it was a little predictable and the ending was signaled too early in the story. Having said that, I really enjoy both the characters that inhabit these "Death on Demand" books and the fact that Carolyn Hart makes such wonderful references to prominent and not so well known mystery authors and their books. I've been introduced to several wonderful authors through this series of books.

A defining event changes the lives of several Broward's Rock residents and ten years later, a killer is on the loose. It's up to Annie and Max to figure out who among their friends and acquaintances is lying and who is a murderer.

Max and Annie are getting ready to move into their new house. But it's not ready in time for their big house-warming party so they throw a party at the local pavilion. Then, a girl who's only recently returned to town is murdered. She was part of the cool crowd until one of their members died from a drug overdose and then his twin sister apparently died of suicide. But did the most recent victim know something about those deaths? Something that caused her own? Annie is on the case.

For a free Friday book for my nook, it was a decent read. A fairly standard, middle of the pack murder mystery. I would buy another of Hart's novels but I might get them from the library.
