Book Description:
Murder is, surprisingly, not all that uncommon on tiny Broward's Rock, an idyllic sea island community off the South Carolina coast. Annie Darling's popular mystery bookshop, Death on Demand, is where the locals come to discuss the juicy details of each criminal offense--under the watchful gaze of a pampered feline prima donna named Agatha. But now Annie's dear friend (and best customer) Henny Brawley stands accused of murdering a Women's Club volunteer-cum-blackmailer. So Annie rouses her husband Max into action, and together they dive into the shark pool of dotty eccentrics and imperious belles who constitute the island's smart set. Because only there can the Darlings prove hapless Henny innocent--by determining who among the well-heeled had the dirtiest little secret...and would kill to protect it.

Annie's friend and best customer stands accused of murdering a volunteer/blackmailer. Can Annie and her husband, Max, prove Henny innocent?
In the Death on Demand Mystery series, actual mysteries are mentioned throughout the book. I keep a list. Some I'm not familiar with, but have turned out to be good.

Mystery book shop owner Annie Darling is involved in another mystery. Her best friend,Henny,is accused of murder and it is up to Annie and her husband Max to clear her name. Carolyn Hart is one of my favorite "cozy" mystery writers and I always enjoy her books.

Part of the wonderful light reading mystery series of Annie and Max Darling

I finally gave up on this book. The numerous one-liner references to real mysteries and their writers and protagonists just got to be too much for me. Must paragraphs have at least one metaphor or simile to slug through. Follow that with a character who writes messages to all and sundry using watercolor flowers as stand-ins for words and I met my Waterloo. I believe this is the first of a series of books with the term "Dead" in the title. I wanted to like it, but sadly could not stay the course.
