Carolyn Hart writes mysteries for the light-hearted. I love the Death on Demand series. Annie and Max Darling live on Broward's Rock, an island off the coast of Georgia. Annie's business venture is the Death on Demand Bookstore that features the latest mystery novels, nonfiction books on mysteries, and collectible mystery novels. Max is involved with his choice job as a consultant for his own firm, Confidential Commissions. "Max's agency specialized in solving problems." This novel, "Death by Midnight" has Annie and Max baffled as they try to be amateur sleuths trying to solve the murders on their island. One of the clues is found on the murder victim's cell phone, a picture taken at midnight of a bundle wrapped in a towel, but where was this photograph taken? Of course as usual Annie gets wrapped up in the murder of friends and neighbors, and invariably gets too close to the murderer for her own good. The mystery keeps one involved and the name-dropping of all the classic mystery novels that Annie can think of keeps a booklover like me entertained. To keep myself in the spirit of the Annie-Max mysteries I am now reading, "A Little Class on Murder", which is educational as well as good fun. This book reminds me that Carolyn G. Hart is also a teacher, as Annie tries to teach as an adjunct professor thirteen miles from Broward's Island, on the mainland. A good academic novel.
