Death
of the Party
Death
on Demand Series #16
By
Carolyn Hart
A
year ago Britt Barlow hid the fact that it was no accident when
her brother-in-law, Jeremiah Addison, fell down the stairs to his
death. Now Brit received a letter from one of the guests at the
island that week and learned that he had seen her hide the wire
that tripped Jeremiah, though he made no demands of his own. She
decided the best way to handle this was to invite everyone back
to the island. Hiring Confidential Commissions, Britt hopes Max
Darling can find the murderer.
Max
is skeptical about taking the case; there are certain questions
he has for Ms. Barlow. Like, why she kept this hidden for a year
and now has decided to bring a possible murderer to her home. He
asks her to cancel her plans and go to the police, but she refuses.
Reluctantly he accepts the case. With the help of his sweet wife,
Annie, he knows this is a case he can solve. They decide they will
not tell the true reason they are there or why the guest have been
called back. However, the journalist, Everett, knows the truth and
shares it with the others. Everyone knows that Jeremiah Addison
was murdered, and they are all suspects--even his two sons. Now
everyone is terrified that they are living amongst a murderer, and
everyone suspects everyone else.
When
a gun comes up missing and the only transportation off the island
is gone, the group becomes even more frightened. There is no clue
as to who is the real murderer. However, when Everett is murdered
they think they have a suspect.
With
this crime-solving couple on yet another case, no one will want
to miss the new mystery. With wonderful characters that make great
suspects and a plot that will keep you guessing, this is one Death
on Demand Mystery you will not want to miss.
