    About this audiobook

    10TH IN DEATH ON DEMAND SERIES

    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.

      Author and narrator told this sad and exciting story.
      Enjoyed and on to the next
    • 3/5
      A Death on Demand mystery with lots of curves and alcoves to sort through trying to find out who done it. A good read for a Spring evening.
    • 4/5
      December 6, 2003Yankee Doodle DeadCarolyn HartFelt like some lighter fare after the horror kick I was on, and the Death on Demand series is always good for light entertainment and a get-together with familiar characters. Annie and Max still annoy me a little with their sexual repartee, but I do love the bookstore and the cats. Same old storyline: some jerk is killed at the Fourth of July fest and nobody’s going to miss him, blah blah blah. I always like the books, but the details are forgettable.
