Fiction Pick of the Week: Dare to Die

Dare to Die: a Death on Demand Mystery
by Carolyn G. Hart 2009

In Agatha-winner Hart's 19th Death on Demand mystery set in Broward's Rock, one of the idyllic South Carolina Sea Islands, Annie Darling and her husband invite a troubled young woman, who used to live in the island community and has recently returned, to a party they're giving. The party ends in tragedy with the discovery of her strangled body in the surrounding woods. Annie owns a mystery bookstore and readers will enjoy the many allusions to actual mystery authors. My discovery of this book began with reaching for the most enticing cover, too serene and perfect to pass up! It was a perfectly satisfying read!
