Annie and Max Darling watch the Fourth of July festival explode not only with fun and fireworks, but with murder as well. A library board newcomer who also happens to be a retired Brigadier General maneuvers the theme of the festival, which is to benefit the library, into his own vision: "Points of Patriotism." His takeover attitude has alienated everyone, including Annie, who finds it difficult to ignore him - especially when he's shot dead before her eyes.

With a list of likely suspects that could fill Town Hall, Annie and Max are stunned when the police arrest an innocent young man who'd recently quarreled with the Brigadier. The Darlings take up the suspect's cause and forge a campaign to identify the murderer.

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!

4.0 out of 5 stars Retired General Shot on the 4th
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024
Annie Darling is getting ready for the festival that Broward’s Rock is hosting for the fourth of July. Not only is her bookstore selling at a booth, but she’s on the library board, which is putting everything on, and is the benefit of the proceeds. Unfortunately, a newcomer to the island is also on the board, and making waves there and all over the island. So when someone shoots him during the fireworks, the only real question is who didn’t have a motive. Can Annie and her husband, Max, figure out what happened?

I struggled a bit with the first half of the book. It was obvious early on who the victim would be. While we were setting up suspects and motives, his antics were such an over the top cliché, it wasn’t always fun. Fortunately, things get better once Annie and Max start investigating. We get a somber yet logical climax, but we still have fun with all the series regulars along the way. I hope the victims get a little less predictable in future books, but series fans will still enjoy this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars and her establishment seems to attract trouble like Annie's pesky felines
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2017
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...
