I read this type of book for pure simple entertainment. I don't have to think. Usually they do what I want them to do...relieve stress however, one line in this book is such a glaring mistake I felt compelled to write. Toward the end a "person of interest" is in a rented boat and missing in the middle of a storm and the author has the police chief say " I've contacted the Coast Guard. They'll be out at first light...." Now having been in the Coast Guard, that line is pure BS. Before the days of political correctness the unspoken motto of SAR unit was "You have to go, you necessarily don't have to come back". If a person is overdue in a boat, no matter what the conditions, the Coast Guard is going out! The storm that the movie "The Perfect Storm" was about, Coast Guard SAR units were out in that (I being one on the Harriet Lane) and the seas in that storm were anywheres between 35 to 90 feet! So, going out at "first light" was and is NOT an option!

Perfect for the Fourth of July!

The most delectable sleuthing couple since Nick met Nora, Annie and Max Darling manage to find quite a bit of murder in their allegedly safe and serene South Carolina island resort town. After all, murder is Annie's business -- well, sort of. She's the proprietor of the popular Death on Demand mystery bookstore and cafe, and her establishment seems to attract trouble like Annie's pesky felines, Dorothy L. and Agatha, attract hairballs. Now, Annie and Max watch their Fourth of July holiday explode not only with fun and fireworks, but with murder as well.

The library board wants to declare its independence from new member, retired Brigadier General Charlton "Bud" Hatch, a man accustomed to being in charge. Hatch's takeover attitude has alienated everyone in town, especially the women. But Annie finds it difficult to ignore him at a crowded patriotic festival -- particularly when he's shot dead before her eyes...

FLIDER

Bud Hatch, Brig. Gen. (Ret.), is one of those people who makes more enemies than any reasonable person really needs. He's on the Board of Directors for the Broward's Rock Library, and trying to get two of the staff fired--and they know it. He's cheating on his wife--and both she and the other woman's husband know it. He hates gays--and one of the best-known ones on the island is both a Vietnam vet and the significant other of one of the would-be layoffs. He's a male chauvinist hog--and the highly respected local Grand Dame who's the driving force behind the up-and-coming fourth-of-July library fundraiser is determined to feature the "Gallant Women of South Carolina." He's trying to initiate radical changes in the focus of the local boys' club. Annie Laurence Darling's long-time chum and partner-in-community-service, senior citizen Henny Brawley, has even told Annie that she "could kill that man." But when an ornamental urn falls off the roof of the library and narrowly misses him--and someone breaks into his locker and rifles it--things get serious, as Hatch accuses Samuel Kinnard, youngest son of a well-respected local black family. Samuel promptly goes underground, and his father asks Annie's husband Max to find him. Which Max does--just in time for Samuel to be discovered holding a gun minutes after someone shoots Hatch.

With a super-sufficiency of possible suspects (it's almost more a case of "Who *didn't* hate the victim?" than of who did), plus the eccentric antics of Annie's mother-in-law Laurel (who probably isn't a likely suspect), the steam-bath weather of the island in summer, and a surprise legal twist, this is one of the best yet of the Death on Demand mysteries, featuring mystery-bookstore owner Annie as amateur sleuth.

Brigadier General (R) Charleton "Bud" Hatch moves to the resort town of Broward's Rock, South Carolina. The brusque general is immediately unpopular among the laidback islanders, who refuse to kowtow to his constant orders and demands. Someone resented the retired officer more stongly than anyone else because Bud is murdered during the Fourth of July celebration.

Annie Laurence Darling, owner of the Death on Demand Mystery Bookstore, is looking forward to spending some time with her beloved spouse Max. However, solving the case of who killed the extremely disliked Bud becomes priority number one for the couple. Gently, they ask questions of the seemingly unlimited number of natives, who wanted the general dead, to ascertain who will actually committed the deed.

Yankee Doodle Dead, the tenth novel in the "Death on Demand" mystery cozy series, is a splendid regional who-done-it that will be totally adored by fans of Southern atmospheric murder tales. The atmosphere of the Carolina barrier island feels genuine, almost as if readers are on a vacation there. The characters, especially the dynamic lead duo, add depth and charm to an entertaining story. Placing all that in a well structured mystery leaves readers with a great treat, compliments of Carolyn Hart.
