When seasonal mischief turns deadly, bookstore owner Annie Darling and her husband, Max, must again close the book on a killer, in this delightful new whodunit from the Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity AwardтАУwinning author.
Reading about deadly doings remains as popular a pastime as ever for citizens of stormy BrowardтАЩs Rock. Now, with spring newly sprung, Annie Darling has conceived of an ingenious promotional scheme: offering a free book to anyone who can solve a series of clues from popular whodunits. Annie and hubby Max pass out their flyers all over town. But an April Fool prankster is distributing a counterfeit flyerтАУcomplete with not-so-vague accusations of murder.
Suddenly the Darling name is mud, thanks to the vicious slanders of an unknown counterfeiter. And Annie knows that she herself is going to have to do the bulk of the sleuthing. Then, just as things couldnтАЩt seem to get any worse, they do. In the wink of a bloodshot eye, AnnieтАЩs hunt for a malicious trickster has become a desperate search for a killer. Because now more than her reputation is at stake. If she canтАЩt rid her idyllic isle of a secret slayer, the malefactorтАЩs next murderous тАЬjokeтАЭ may be on her!
