- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story and the author goes into such detail. Sometimes a little to much, but I still love her storytelling. On to the next book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5'Arsenic and Old Lace' is one of Annie's favorites, and she's happy to be a part of the local summer production, despite little acts of sabotage and Shane the pain, who can't be bothered to learn his lines. They even have an ex-Broadway director, anxious to make a comeback. The tricks take an ugly turn, ending in a murder.Enter Posey, the kind of attorney who gives the profession a bad name. He hates persons of inherited wealth, so of course he's happy to pick Max Darling for the killer. Worse, he's not interested in pursuing any leads that lead away from Max. Max isn't worried, but Annie is. She's being driven crazy.There are two running subplots. One is the ideas Laurel, Max's eccentric mother, has for Max and Annie's wedding in September. Annie wants a simple wedding. Laurel wants an New Age extravaganza. You know Annie must love Max very much since she's willing to accept Laurel as her mother-in-law. (Unlike Annie, I wouldn't have minded the unusual wedding cake -- so long as it tasted okay.)The other subplot is Henny dressing up and taking on the mannerisms of female fictional sleuths as she does her own investigation of the murder. Don't worry if you don't know them all (I don't), because Annie identifies them for the reader.There's plenty of suspense in the scene where Annie is trying to get the killer to admit to the crimes. It was a bit in the spirit of 'Arsenic and Old Lace,' come to think of it.As for the usual five paintings of mystery books contest, I've read them all and figured out only one painting, and it wasn't the one for the book I'd read not six months ago. Drat!The narration is good. It added to the suspense and to my instant loathing of Posey, who will return.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5May 30, 1999Something WickedCarolyn HartI’ve read that Carolyn Hart is often compared to Agatha Christie. I don’t really see it, since to me Agatha Christie represents all that is English and quaint and sneaky, whereas Carolyn Hart is nothing like that. Her books are entertaining, though. Annie irritates me a little with her perfect life: owns a mystery bookstore, is married to a rich, good-looking guy with whom she’s thoroughly infatuated, and the sexual references are just corny and stupid. The South Carolina setting turns me off, as do all Southern locales. Still, I really do enjoy the series. Anyway, a “summer stock” cast is putting on a presentation of Arsenic & Old Lace. There’s a murder or two, an aging star who’s laying pipe all over town, including a mother and daughter team…. This time Max is a suspect (it’s usually Annie), so Annie has to prove his innocence.
