Death Walked In

By: Carolyn Hart

Narrated by: Kate Reading

Annie Darling discovers the secret of the Franklin house, but DEATH WALKED IN . . .

Max Darling hasn’t been interested in crime since his brush with a seductive young woman put him in danger of losing his freedom. He even refuses to talk to a woman who calls for help and says she is afraid. The caller leaves word she’s hidden something in the antebellum house Max and his wife, Annie, are restoring. When Annie finds out, she hurries to the woman’s home, only to discover her shot. Annie hears her final whisper as she holds the dying woman’s hand.

Evidence links the dead woman to a nearby home, where a fortune in gold coins has gone missing. The gold coins, rare Double Eagles, were stolen from a house filled with visiting family members, twentysomethings hungry for money and several with secrets they must keep. Is one of them willing to kill for a fortune in coins? Or is it the dead woman’s high school dropout son? Max is there when the police arrest the son, but the boy’s shock upon learning of his mother’s death convinces Max of his innocence. Max and Annie plunge wholeheartedly into the investigation.

But are the coins hidden in Annie and Max’s Franklin house? The intruder who shoots at Max seems to think so. And who walks in when Annie discovers the secret of that house?©2008 Carolyn Hart; (P)2008 Books on Tape

Love this series!

I love all of the Death in Demand stories. The characters are believable and interesting. They help me escape my world for a little while and enter another. Mysteries are my favorite, especially the ones I can't figure out before the end of the book. With this series, sometimes I am surprised at who done it!

The narrator was good for this story. She did voices for differtent characters. It was a good listen.

Don't Ignore a Plea for Help

I'm a Laurel fan so anytime she is in the mix it's enjoyable. Emma's a blast to the scenes as well. I like when other regular characters are the focal point to a story.

enjoyable

Carolyn hart seems to be getting a second win this is the 2nd book in a row that got the old interesting stories.
most are good but there was 3 in a row that seemed a bit paper thin. but gladly this is great well worth a read.

Narration Distracting

The voices of many of the characters in this audible version are so poorly done that I found it hard to get past them and lose myself in the story. The absolutely worst is Max Darling. I know it's difficult for a female narrator to do male voices, but she made Max sound old, supercilious, and completely out of character. He's supposed to be a cool, young guy and he sounded anything but. The story itself was entertaining although I felt certain of the murderer's identity early on and I prefer a plot that keeps me guessing until the end.
