I'm happy to be joining #BerkleyMystery in celebrating the May 1 paperback release of 
WALKING ON MY GRAVE
Book 26 in the Death on Demand Mysteries
by Carolyn Hart


In the latest Death on Demand Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Go Home, book seller Annie Darling learns murder and money go hand in hand...

Annie’s friend and fellow shop owner Ves Roundtree is a very wealthy woman. Her rich brother entrusted her with his estate, and upon her death, his fortune is to be divided. Several cash-strapped islanders are in line to collect life-changing inheritances. The problem is, Ves is very much alive.

Ves hosts a dinner for the prospective beneficiaries and feels a chill in the air that has nothing to do with the wintry season. Not long after, she suffers a bad fall that was no accident. Everyone at the table had a motive but not a shred of evidence was left behind. 

When one of the suspects is found floating in the harbor and Ves disappears, Annie and her husband Max spring into action to catch a calculating killer before greed takes another life.

MY REVIEW


Author Carolyn Hart is a master storyteller, and my purveyor of mystery. She stands in a class all her own.

There are always a lot of characters Ms. Hart’s books, but if anyone knows all there is about her characters and their histories, it would be this author. With so many to keep up with, she kindly includes a Cast of Characters list to help readers keep track.

I feel fans will agree, WALKING ON MY GRAVE perfectly aligned with the other books in this series. The same wonderful writing readers count on is found in this tale. There is a good, solid mystery with an array of suspects, encouraging readers to keep turning the pages.

I’ve seen very mixed reviews about WALKING ON MY GRAVE. Anywhere from one to five stars. It’s not my favorite of the titles I’ve read in this series, but it is still an amazing piece of writing, and I'm happy to have read it.
  

From Carolyn Hart’s website:
From Death on Demand to Walking on my Grave, I've loved spending time with Annie and Max on their sea island. Walking on my Grave is their last adventure and I will leave them as I found them, young, happy, always there for each other. My thanks to the wonderful readers who welcomed them. It's been fun.  _ Carolyn
