Synopsis

One of America's most beloved mystery writers, Carolyn G. Hart, the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Award-winning author, returns to her original mystery
series that features Annie Darling, owner of the Death on Demand Bookstore, and her husband, Max, with Mint Julep Murder.

Normally, Annie Laurence Darling would be eagerly awaiting her trip to Head Island, where this year's Dixie Book Festival is being held. But this year Annie has agreed to be the author liaison to five authors honored with the much-coveted Dixie Book Festival Medallions, and she fears she is going to have her hands full juggling murderous egos. What Annie doesn't count on is the untimely death of ambitious Mint Julep Press publisher Kenneth Hazlitt. Hazlitt arrives at the Festival peddling a proposal for Song of the South, a trashy roman  clef that details the indiscretions of some famous Southern authors at a writers' conference--writers who more than resemble the Dixie Festival Medallion winners. When Hazlitt drops dead after drinking a hit of bourbon from his private stock, the evidence points to Annie--the fatal glass is imprinted with her fingerprints. As more and more evidence points her way, Annie and Max must act fast to catch a wily killer...before the police throw the book at Annie!

I do not like to give any published book a bad review. I struggled through this book, (hence why it took so long to read it.) Here is what I would like you to imagine: You and a few friends get together to play a game of clue. (Your name is Annie) Then someone turns on a tape recorder and then tran......more

Goodreads review by Ruth on September 09, 2013

I fine little romp despite (and it's a big "despite" in my book) ONCE AGAIN the novel resorting to suspecting one of the series' lead characters of murder. Really? how about someone else be suspected for a change? Just saying. We're all mystery fans, I think we'd be able to suspend our disbelief lon......more

Goodreads review by Jenny on July 04, 2020

"People who don't read mysteries are puzzled by them. They want to know why any writer would focus on crime. They don't understand that crime isn't the point of the mystery.... Christie once said that the modern mystery was the equivalent of the medieval morality play... Mysteries serve as parables......more
