Engaged to Die
The Barnes & Noble Review
Award-winning author Carolyn Hart opens an exciting new chapter in the story of insatiably curious Annie Darling, owner of the Death on Demand mystery bookstore. Love is in the air on the Low Country island of Broward's Rock: Annie is passionately devoted to her charming husband, Max; her young holiday helper, Chloe, is entranced by the sexy stranger she's been meeting late at night on the pier; and widow Virginia Neville is about to mix business with pleasure by announcing her engagement at the opening of her gallery's exciting new exhibit. But while Virginia is clearly head-over-heels for her talented portraitist, not everyone is ready to wish her well. Her late husband's family, in particular, is in an uproar, believing she'll squander what should have been their inheritance on the handsome young man. And when Virginia's fiance and Chloe's heartthrob turn out to be one and the same, more than hearts get broken. The charming rogue is bludgeoned to death one fogbound night, and an alarming amount of evidence points to Chloe as the murderer especially after she flees the scene and evades the police. To make matters worse, Max is aiding the authorities, while Annie is fighting to clear Chloe's name. As fans of the series fans know, it will take more than marital discord, blackmail, and threats to deter Annie Darling's amateur detecting. Sue Stone

DEAD BY MIDNIGHT by Carolyn Hart
I love to have fun when writing a mystery. If I laugh, I think a reader will laugh. In the Death on Demand series, I especially enjoy writing about Annie Darling's ditzy mother-in-law, Laurel Roethke. Laurel is usually excited about a new interest, something that surprises and often confounds Annie.
In Dead by Midnight, Laurel creates Cat Truth Posters, which she wants Annie to hang in the bookstore. Annie thinks books should be the store's focus, but the posters enchant her.
Each poster features a cat's photograph with a caption. Here are three of the Cat Truth posters;
. . . a silky furred, mitted, and bicolored Ragdoll stretched out on a red silk cushion, looking as comfy as Eva Longoria in a Hanes ad: Go with the Flow.
A rectangular-muzzled, green-eyed, cholocolate colored cat appeared as brooding as a Gothic hero: Always Say Yes to Adventure.
. . . a thick-furred, piebald Siberian forest cat, its white front a brilliant contrast to a charcoal back and head. Its face appeared almost angelic: Always try a Smile First.
And yes, one of the posters points to a killer.
Fun for me and fun, I hope for readers

Engaged to Die by Carolyn G. Hart is the 14th book in the Death on Demand Mystery series. Virginia Neville is about to announce her engagement at a gallery exhibition to artist Jake O'Neill, when he is found dead. Annie Darling's assistant at the Death On Demand bookstore, Chloe, is soon suspected and Annie investigates to help her friend. An enjoyable mystery. It was nice to catch up with Annie and Max Darling and the other inhabitants of Boward's Rock. I like the mystery book references which makes me want to seek out some of the books. A quick and easy read and a typical cozy mystery.

Will not finish. Won't read more in this series. Here's why.
1) "death on demand" is a mystery bookstore. The author throws in references to other mysteries at least once per chapter. Specific books the bookstore customers bought (title and author) and a friend that challenges the protagonist with mystery trivia, to which she knows all the answers. This is distracting and doesn't add to the plot at all.
2) The protagonist makes decisions that are impossible to swallow as realistic. It's difficult to imagine any reasonable adult making these decisions. She's not sixteen.
3) Every time she encounters her husband she waxes romantic about how good-looking he is. I only read half the book and got that message at least six times. Got it.

This story was a bore. While the Death on Demand series was initially very good, the stories now seem like a re-hash. In this one, it was fairly obvious who the murderer was very early on. Also, the constant references to Annie and Max's romantic liaisons became tiresome. We get it, Annie. Max is a hottie. We get it, Max, you want to get into bed with Annie at least 3x a day. Each of these books also feature a contest, where Annie hires a painter EACH month, to create several paintings of book covers. The first one of her mystery book store customers to correctly guess the book featured in each painting, wins a book. Every Death on Demand book features this, the expense and time of doing such a contest is so improbable it has become annoying. We get it, author. You want to show off your mystery trivia skills. Same with the character Henny. In the midst of murder, these non sequiturs keep getting thrown out - Henny quizzes Annie about mystery books and characters in the middle of a conversation about the murder. This is why each book seems like a re-hash. Annie is immature and blunders off. And no wonder her bookstore cat, Agatha bites. She is left alone and locked up overnight in the bookstore every night. I was hoping Billy would put Annie in jail for interference but of course Billy never did interrogate anyone who attended the party. There were not even glimmers of reality in this one.

The series is still going well. Mom found out she can borrow them of Hoopla and sense she can do text to speech, she can borrow by the cart full and consume them at an extremely fast rate.
This was not a bad one, but not one of mom's favorite either. A young lady who helps out at the bookstore meets a mysterious man on a peer at night. She falls in love with him, but has no clue who this mysterious stranger is. Max and Annie get invited to a engagement party of a dear friend. They invite along everyone who works at the bookstore and low and behold,(we bet you guys did not see this coming,) the groom to be is the mysterious man that the woman keeps meeting on the peer. The young shop helper runs off upset and the party goes on. Later that night the groom to be wind up dead and the police suspect that the young shop helper is the one who did it. Annie does not believe this and it is a race against the clock to prove her innocence. The change up in this one is that the police need help and they hire Max for the job. Meaning Annie and Max are sort of working against each other. (Mom and I say sort of because Max and Annie are never mean to each other, but just believe the other does not see the whole picture.)
A good book over all and we look forward to reading the next one in the series.

This felt like it took me forever to read. I feel like this could have been a really good mystery but it dragged. I confused some people and the suspects from the Neville family never really felt fleshed out. I wanted to sympathize with Chloe but we only seemed to like her because Annie was fighting so hard for her. Also, I hated the first detour with the nursing home incident - it does play a role in what happens later but I feel like Hart could have come up with a better way to Also why is everyone blonde? Seriously not a brunette in all of Browards Rock.

Disappointing
I’ve heard about this highly acclaimed author for years and decided to give one of her mysteries a try. The premise was just too far fetched to work for me. The idea of the police agreeing to let mystery bookshop owner Annie, an untrained civilian, work alongside them on a murder investigation is just too far-fetched. Annie argues with the police, challenges them, and basically calls the shots. Her fawning, doting husband comes across as totally unbelievable as a character. If he’s still acting like this after years of marriage, something is wrong. The booked sagged and dragged on and there was too much rehashing and debate about the murder. For the first time, I skipped to the end to find out. who done it.

Surprised her books receiving such high ratings. In this, only one I've read, characters not well developed at all. Just a very shallow, skim writing style. OK, to while away time and relax, but never grabs you by seat of pants.

Rays a lover of mysteries I enjoyed the insert of different mysteries writers. The characters didn't always fit the story.i do like Max, but find Annie too stubborn. She does not like to listen. It took too long to get to the first problem Annie came across.

This story was way too unplausible to believe even for a Cozy Mystery.

Engaged to Die by Carolyn Hart is the 14th book of the Death on Demand contemporary mystery series set on Broward's Rock, South Carolina. Annie Darling owns and runs a mystery bookstore, Death on Demand. She's blissfully married to Max, enjoys her ethereal, often spacey mother-in-law Laurel.
For a friend out of state, Annie goes to visit her friend's mother at an assisted living home. She sees clearly that the night watchman is terrorizing the residents. When she brings that to management attention, she makes a dangerous enemy.
Virginia Neville is Nathaniel Neville's widow. He left her the grand mansion; left his adult children the art gallery and other properties. But the children are greedy; they want it all. Virginia's in a November/May relationship, about to publicly announce her engagement, which infuriates them.
Jake O'Neill is a handsome, charming young man. Multiple young women are his lovers, besides Virginia; none of them know it. But they learn, after his murder.
Annie is fiercely determined to prove her friend Chloe is not the murderer, despite the evidence. Police chief Billy's mind is made up: Chloe is the killer. Now he has to find her and lock her up. He deputizes Max, which sets Max and Annie at cross purposes.
Meanwhile the night watchman makes threats and attacks; Laurel sends encouraging quotes from literature extolling friendship. Inconsistencies mar the plot: Annie refers to an event that was days earlier as happening only the previous day; the final mystery resolution does not fit the action events.
Series fans will enjoy the tried and true formula of a Death on Demand mystery: the 'identify 5 mysteries depicted in paintings' contest at the bookstore, the mystery quote challenge from Henny Brawley to Annie, mystery titles frequently peppering Annie's thoughts and conversation, the dominant personalities of her cats: Agatha at the bookstore, Dorothy L. at home with Annie and Max.
Fave Quotes:
Women remembered him. In summer he always wore a white suit. If Tom Wolfe could do it, so could he.
Fog eddied and swirled like silver chiffon scarves in a ghostly dance.
All right, Max was an officious ass. But he was her officious ass.
What did friends do for friends? With a fine disregard for mixing metaphors, Annie said sternly to Agatha, "They don't sit around and twiddle their thumbs while Rome burns. And neither will I."
"That's a deal. You look for the truth. So will I."
"Max, your mother is one of a kind." Max made an indeterminate noise. It might have been acquiescence. Or resignation. Or possibly denial.
But as her sensible Texas mother had observed, there was no point in playing cards from the what-if deck.
Yes, it was a bad idea to continue to feed a cat at almost midnight, setting in train who knew what unfortunate habits and importunate expectations. But Annie knew whose will was strongest, and it wasn't hers.
She was enveloped by the atavistic unreasoning panic that blooms at night in the dungeons of the mind when horror lurks behind doors that decently remain shut in sunshine.

This book opens in January, and it involves a family that owns an art gallery on the island of Broward’s Rock. They are gearing up for an opening for a well-respected artist, but Virginia, the owner, is also going to use it to announce her engagement to a much younger man, much to her step children’s dismay. Naturally, Annie Darling is going to be there with her husband, Max. But when the time comes for the announcement, it gets postponed, and soon after, a dead body is discovered. Will Annie solve the latest mystery?
While I was reading this book, I was enjoying it. But as I thought about it later, I started to have issues. The subplot was front loaded, giving us more time before the mystery really got started. The ending felt rushed, with no explanation of how Annie fingered the killer, which means I’m struggling a little to see how it all makes sense. And one relationship had to devolved for us to get the usual antagonist relationship Annie has with the local police. Fans will still enjoy this visit with the characters even if it isn’t the strongest.

Love is in the air on the Low Country island of Broward's Rock: Annie is passionately devoted to her charming husband, Max; her young holiday helper, Chloe, is entranced by the sexy stranger she's been meeting late at night on the pier; and widow Virginia Neville is about to mix business with pleasure by announcing her engagement at the opening of her gallery's exciting new exhibit, but not everyone is ready to wish Virginia well. Her late husband's family believes she'll squander what should have been their inheritance on the handsome young man. Then Virginia's fiance and Chloe's heartthrob turn out to be one and the same and charming rogue is bludgeoned to death one fogbound night. All evidence points to Chloe as the murderer especially after she flees the scene and evades the police. To make matters worse, Max is aiding the authorities, while Annie is fighting to clear Chloe's name. This continues to be a great series that I believe the author chose to end with #25 in 2015.

This novel felt very cookie-cutter and populated by stereotypes. I got sick of all the references to blond hair and blue eyes (as if that was the epitome of attractiveness - what century is this?) and Hollywood good looks, complete with comparisons to movie stars - far too many of the characters are beautiful people, including the heroine, who also has a wonderful and adoring husband and a very active sex life (and no kids, of course). I feel a bit insulted as a reader, as if the author dumbed down real life and assumed that what readers are looking for in a cozy mystery novel is some kind of escape to a world of Barbies and Kens with perfect lives and lots of sex. Then in the middle of all this irritating perfection, a fairly boring murder occurs, whose solution drags on endlessly to a rather predictable conclusion that also seems unrealistic. Not interested in reading more by this author.

In Engaged to Die , the 14th book in the Death on Demand series by Carolyn G. Hart, the January night is perfect for the party to celebrate the engagement between Virginia Neville and Jake O'Neill, but when the time arrives for the big announcement, Jake is nowhere to be found. That is, until someone finds his body with his head bashed in on the beach. And Chloe Martin, Annie's holiday assistant at her store, who has thought that Jake was dating her exclusively until she learns otherwise at the party, is seen running away from the place of the crime soon before the body is found.

I love Carolyn Harts Death on Demand series.....the central character is Annie, who runs a mystery book store called Death on Demand. There are secondary characters that you love, love to hate and laugh with. Each story takes place with a new character, but it doesn't take away from the existing ones. It all just works. The only downside....there are numerous mystery titles that come up....from those listed on the coffee mugs to the monthly contest in the store...to the titles mentioned when a new shipment comes in, or someone asks for a particular title, or a mishap occurs and certain books mentioned. My to read list has grown considerably due to this, but I think I'll live!

Virginia Neville is a former nurse. She is quite happy to be a wealthy widow. Even with her step-children. A reason she's especially happy is her much younger fiance. Too bad the man is murdered the night of their engagement party. Too bad the man wast he type to sleep around and had more than one bad relationship in his past. One of whom works for Annie -- when she becomes the chief suspect, it's Annie to the rescue.
There wasn't a lot of Laurel in this book which is nice but this was overall just an okay mystery.

In this one, Annie's young part-time assistant has fallen for the wrong guy. Although she doesn't even know his name, she's convinced that she is in love with him and that the feeling is mutual. Soon enough, she learns that he is actually engaged to be married to a much older and quite wealthy woman. Murder and mayhem ensue.

I used to read this series, but apparently I lost track of it somewhere along the way. So, now I'm catching up and remembering how much I enjoyed them. The characters are entertaining (all right, not always realistic, but fun) and the plots are convoluted enough to keep me interested.
November 17, 2019
This is a reasonably good series mystery, with an interesting plot and setting. However, the excessive wordiness and descriptions (repetitive at times) were intrusive and interfered with, rather than enhanced, the narrative.
September 7, 2022
I simply am not a "cozy" reader in my old age. I used to be engaged (pun intended ) by love stories mixed with murder, but not so much anymore. Thought I would give the series another try, but there is a reason I stopped reading them. Kristi & Abby Tabby

this book needs to include a recipe for the delicious chili that Annie eats at the "leprecaun's" restaurant and there should be a summary in the back of all the other mysteries that are mentioned throughout the book

Another great mystery by Carolyn Hart. Max and Annie Darling are working to solve another murder that involves Annie's young assistant, Chloe.

4.5 stars! Love Max and Annie!

I lost track of who was who in this book, but still figured out who the murderer was well before the end. I've enjoyed others in this series more.
February 25, 2022
A few too many suspects, but overall, a good story.
June 6, 2022
One of the better books in this series. Had me stumped up to the end.
