Murder Walks the Plank Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

It's "Corpse ahoy!" when death takes a pleasure cruise -- as we set sail once more with that incomparable, crime-solving duo, the Darlings.

Annie Darling, popular proprietress of the Death on Demand bookstore, has done it again! Her murder-mystery cruise in the waters off her not-always-idyllic isle of Broward's Rock is sure to be a roaring success, with every participant dressing up as a favorite fictional sleuth. And sure enough, everything goes swimmingly -- until one of the revelers plunges overboard. And despite hubby Max Darling's courageous rescue attempt, faux murder turns all too quickly into real-life death.

Over the next few days, the body count rises and Annie strongly suspects that all the victims were murdered most foully and that they are all connected in some unknown way. The trick now will be to prove it, with the able assistance of investigator-spouse Max, best friend and best customer Henny Brawley, local bestselling superstar Emma Lloyd, and even (surprise!) Annie's normally ditsy mother-in-law, Laurel.

But what the intrepid crime solvers do not realize is that the killer they seek is more ingeniously efficient than most -- and the puzzle they wish to solve is, in reality, a time bomb packed with an explosive mix of arson, assault, kidnapping, robbery . . . and homicide, of course. One false step and Annie and her canny cohorts will be blown off Broward's Rock for good . . . and they'll sink like stones into the cold, briny deep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the whole series

Haven't revisited this one but I heard it on a loaner from the library long, long ago. Had to add it to my collection. Totally love the Death on Demand series that Hart has created.Hart has created characters whose idiosyncrasies leave you hoping to hear of them again and again as the series of books is explored. Hart's work always pleases and leaves the listener asking for continued stories. Love Kate Reading as the reader. She has a great and relaxing style while still maintaining the delivery on spot.

These Death on Demand stories are all great! Clues abound, but the answer is never a given. Carolyn Hart keeps you guessing. I love her development of the characters. I never feel like the people in these stories are just shallow sketches of characters, but real people with all the good and bad qualities that entails. Great read. You won't be sorry you read this...though you might not be able to put it down!

An interesting novel, much in the same spirit than other Death on Demand stories.
After so many crimes, it's bizarre there are still inhabitants on the island.
Very entertaining.

I have read most all of Carolyn Hart's "Death on Demand" titles. This particular work was one of the better titles in this series. I liked the pace she set, and the storyline was interesting. No irritating characters, plausible surprises, and a different person to guess the mystery paintings at the end. I highly recommend this title to readers!

3.0 out of 5 stars An easy afternoon read
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2008
Carolyn Hart writes a continuing series about the owner of a bookstore who also solves mysteries. This time she and her husband have a mystery cruise off the coast. There is a murder and our protagonist is off and running.

This book is a nice afternoon read, no surprises, nothing new under the sun. Carolyn Hart is a master at her craft and this book is well crafted.
