Publisher's summary

To celebrate an April Fool's Day appearance by the island's most famous mystery author, Death on Demand bookstore owner Annie Darling creates a unique promotion. Offering a free book to anyone who can solve a series of clues about popular whodunits, Annie and husband Max pass out their flyers all over town. But an April Fool prankster is distributing a counterfeit flyer, complete with not-so-vague accusations of murder.

Now, Annie is out to find the culprit, a search complicated by a troubled friend and by her own unpredictable mother-in-law, whose latest kick is finding lost pirate booty. But it's no laughing matter when murder is added to the mix, for now Annie and her handsome husband, Max, must unmask a killer before he strikes again.

When a fluffy mystery is just what you want

The only trouble with the audio version is that you want a pen and paper to write down all the mystery authors and books that she mentions.

enjoyed the plot

the new characters are giving the series new energy, the 3 old ladies was getting a bit predictable. Kept me guessing on who did it.

It Was Okay

This was an okay addition to the Death on Demand Mystery series. This story seemed to lack the usual fun of the other books. I'm glad that Laurel didn't play a large role in this book but the role she did play wasn't believable. The story was just off.

So Glad It Comes But Once A Year

Just when you think the general pace of the story slows down a bit here comes something else up and running. Good relaxing listen.
