A Little Class on Murder
When mystery bookstore owner Annie Laurance is invited to teach "The Three Great Ladies of the Mystery" class at Chastain Community College, the sometime sleuth discovers that all is not strictly academic in Chastain's hallowed halls of learning. And when a shocking scandal in the school newspaper erupts in a suicide and two violent deaths, Professor Laurance enlists the talents of her new hubby, private eye Max Darling, and dons her thinking cap to probe intrigue and vengeance among Chastain's faculty.
A Dangerous Thing
Max and Annie, with dubious help from three of their own great ladies of the mystery -- Annie's pixilated mother-in-law, a batty local dowager, and a Christie crime fanatic -- learn that just about everyone at the school had means, motive, and access to the murder weapons. From the secretly boozing professor of advertising to the muscle-bound campus cad who barters passing grades for a little extracurricular activity, anyone on the faculty is a possible killer -- waiting to strike again!

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

When Annie is asked to teach a class on The Three Grand Dame of the Mystery for the journalism department at the college in Chastain, she quickly warms to the idea. Her enthusiasm is only dimmed slightly when she sees the tension in her fellow faculty members and who decides to crash her class. However, when the student paper starts printing stories that lead to deaths, Annie and her new husband, Max, begin to investigate. Can they figure out what is going on?
This is the book where the series seems to finally be finding the right mix. There is plenty of humor, and I laughed quite a bit. The characters are still on the thin side, but they work to keep us engaged and entertained. We get plenty of references to other writers and characters, mostly the three authors Annie is teaching in her class (Christie, Sayers, and Rinehart), but they never overwhelm or feel like a list dropped into the story. And the mystery weaves all around, keeping us guessing until the end. There is still more foul language than in a typical cozy, but as long as you know this, you’ll be fine. I hope this mix continues as the series goes forward.

Annie seemed to be on her "high horse" through 50% of the book which didn't sit quite well with my perception of how Annie's personality has been established.

I like the author's style of three short (mostly less than one page) chapters in the beginning of the book. The character thinking is generally not identified, and sometimes the little chapter is just tantalizing background information, but they always set the tone and the stage for the mystery that follows.
This is the fifth book in the series, and some of the characters are old friends: Max's daft mother, Miss Dora, Henny, Agatha the bookstore cat. The longer we know these people (and Agatha), the more their personalities develop, and it's fun to follow them through the solving of another murder.

This review is based on the audio book. I did not like this book for multiple reasons, and only finished it because I wanted to know who committed the murder. The repeated fat shaming of Emily was incredibly off-putting. That character is someone who worked her way through school on her own, but because she's overweight, she's pathetic? There must have been ways to get across the sadness of her life without dwelling on her weight.
Then there were the supporting characters who I think were supposed to be endearingly quirky, but instead they were obnoxious and pushed the main character around. I kept wanting to shake the main character and tell her to grow a backbone and stop being a doormat. I'd earlier listened to the audio book of a later entry in the series and found it fairly enjoyable, but after this, I'm not sure I'll look into any more of the series.
In fairness, the mystery itself was entertaining, enough that I gritted my teeth through the things I disliked in order to finish it.

Well this one was not bad, but mom and I don’t think school mysteries are our thing. There not bad nor was this writing any different from the other ones; but the school politics were just not that exciting. Mom also just didn’t find the build up of the book that exciting. We were half way through book before the murder happened.
Also side note: The first book Laurel seemed to be made much to annoying and Max not standing up for Annie did cause mom some great annoyance. Mom and I however for gave it for a plot point of the time; but this book had one the was beyond unforgivable to us and one that just a real pet peeve of mom. The first was one of the victims was beyond over weight, and though she was not a nice character and was given some complex story line, the author still kept sending the message that “fat”people were either to be pitied or treated as disgusting pieces of trash. Again we get this is a product of the time, but stil is was just deplorable to read.
The second was the newspaper telling aweful things just because the “truth” needs to be told. Yes the author “set this right” in the end, but still no one was truly against it for right reasons beside one person. You could use this to go into depth about options of news papers and telling the truth, but the author only gave it a little hole instead of create an amazing analysis around this.
Not bad, and still a nice read just not as exciting as the last one we read.

Dated.
The fat phobia is too over the top to skim past and ignore. I try to give things understanding- this was published in 1989- and think maybe the author was influenced by society at the time; I know we didn’t even have the phrase “fat phobia,” but this is … vicious.
The attitudes too - the cringeworthy, coy hints at “the marriage bed,” and Annie’s constant pushing away of her bordering-on-sex-pest husband … characters are definitely crammed into their proper places, as dictated by a very shallow, patriarchal society.
I think I used to enjoy this writer. I do love how well she knows her mysteries. But to recap, again and again, scene after scene just being another grocery list of suspects and a recap of their motives? Horrible.
The only reason I finished this book was that the narrator was fabulous.
by the time I made it to the end, I didn’t even care who did it… and it’s a good thing, because the perpetrator made absolutely no sense at all. There was no real motive. There was no real anything at all to this book, unfortunately.

If you are looking for a nice light read, this is it. Annie and Max Darling get involved in a murder at the local journalism school, and of course, her three bete noirs show up to “help”. Just something to while away a summer afternoon.

Carolyn G. Hart's fifth book in the Death on Demand series, A Little Class on Murder, opens in Annie Laurence Darling's bookstore, Death on Demand, with a strange man walking into her store and grilling her on her mystery knowledge. Upon Annie's demonstrating a vast competence in her field, the man reveals himself to be R.T. Burke, the chair of the journalism department at Chastain Colleg, and offers Annie the job of teaching a course on mystery fiction. Annie enthusiastically jumps at the opportunity and immediately announces that typical mystery programs feature only male authors but that her course will feature the three grand dames of the mystery novel, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Mary Roberts Rinehart.

Annie is asked to teach a class on murder mysteries to the journalism department. Implausible enough, but then her class is invaded by a triumvirate of Characters: Henny Brawley (devoted mystery-bookshop customer), Miss Dora (ancient and crusty doyenne of aristocratic South Carolina), and Laurel (Annie's New Agey mother-in-law). Mayhem, naturally, ensues.
Warnings: violence (murders via bomb and crowbar, suicide); male faculty misusing their power to sexually molest undergraduate women; an increasingly disturbing veneration of ye Olde Aristocratic South, with no mention of any messy chattel slavery, racism or classism problems; and some really toxic and unquestioned sizeist/fatphobic attitudes. Oh, and offscreen character dying of AIDS.

This one was a bit slow on my roll!! After all the lists Hart made in this one the story was actually good. All that information not needed in such detail about writers and Latin I felt like I WAS IN A LITTLE CLASS ABOUT MURDER!

It seems that every mystery writer has tackled a murder in academics. As Annie quotes in this book to her new boss, R.T. Burke, " ' Somebody once said that one of the reasons academic infighting is so vicious is that the stakes are so small. There's so little at stake and they are so nasty about it. More than any other group I've ever seen, academics don't seem to know how to act.' " Annie is asked to teach a course in the mystery book (that it's offered through the Chastain College's journalism department still doesn't make sense to me) to replace another professor's course that had to be chopped last minute. She attends a couple meetings where it's clear the department is not in harmony. Burke wants classes aimed at helping students learn skills that will help them in professionalism, his opponents want to continue focusing on the academics. Meanwhile, the school newspaper's new editor, Brad Kelly, is hell-bent on exposing all faculty secrets, and he seems to have gotten them from an informer - who is this Deep Throat?
Takes place in November, a couple months after the previous book.

I do enjoy the quick-thinking, yet somewhat muddleheaded Annie Lawerence Darling, the protagonist in this wonderfully fresh series. not only do we get to read this mystery, but Hart is constantly dropping the names, titles and sometimes the plot of other mystery writers, both new and old. I read this series at the beginning of my current cozy mystery obsession and it was very cool to get the names of other writers that might be of interest to me, so thanks for that Hart! this story itself is a mystery that takes place while the above mentioned Annie is a guest professor at a local South Carolinian college. her subject? only the three greatest writers of the Golden Age of Detection: Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Mary Roberts Rhinehart! so naturally throughout the book, we as readers learn many interesting facts about the Grande Dames of mystery. I was so excited about all that, that I haven't mentioned the actual mystery within the story! it is twisty and inventive and kept me guessing until the big reveal.
July 20, 2018
I had foresworn reading more of the Death on Demand series as the books were too much like theses, but this was in the mail already. Hart perhaps heeded complaints like mine and, in this book, has the protagonist teaching a class on three of the grande dames of the Golden Age of Mystery and imparting interesting information. Who knew Mary Roberts Rinehart was a war correspondent in WWI Belgium.
I still object to amateurs breaking laws to get evidence and to overused characterizations of incompetent police and mother-in-law escapees from communes, but I'll try one more.

The first few books in this series were interesting but now they just seem to be a way to rattle off the names and titles of as many mystery authors as possible. These stories could be about 20% shorter and not lose anything in regards to the story if this behavior wasn't so frequent. While I am at it, Annie's mother-in-law is getting really freakin' annoying. A few books without her would be a good thing!
July 7, 2023
Ms Hart has a knack for the cosy mystery genre. A Little Class on Murder is a relaxing piece of escape fiction with fun characters. By the conclusion of the book, however, the overabundance of references to other mystery writers, characters, and plots becomes quite tiresome. Also, the repetitiveness of stating the motivations of the various suspects unfortunately detracts from the content. Aside from this, the writing, plot, and characters make it a worthwhile and leisurely read.
May 30, 2022
Much filler, not particularly likeable cast of oddball “helpers”, and a crime or three that were only insoluble if you know nothing about the magician’s method of misdirection. Reads like a librarian’s name dropping of mystery books.
The writing is fine, but the plotting and characters needed oomph.
First taste of the author, not investing in more.

Sometimes your physical health overwhelms your mind and you have to just have to struggle through. I was hospitalized for 10 day, which you would think would give you lots of time to read. Not the case, however. I have been home for two days and I still can't seem to finish this book. I decided to call it finished, because I had read it before (years ago,)

Fun listen on Audio but be prepared for the language. Good mystery but I would recommend it be read instead of listened to, unless you have a grasp for detail better than I do while driving in traffic.

Little Class on Murder
Overall, I enjoyed the read, but the frequently referenced mystery authors and their books made for some tedious going. Fewer references = fewer interruptions to the story.

Tw: offensive discussion of obesity, weight, etc
I love this series but this book has a fat character and the way she is described and discussed is horrifying. It’s clearly a character flaw in the view of the author. I realize this is a dated book but this means I could not recommend this book.

Aspects of this book have not aged particularly well.
Trigger warnings for sexual exploitation of students by college professors (which are dealt with a bit causally for my taste)
Trigger warning for intense fat phobia

June 9, 2024Carolyn Hart's books have well developed plots and surprising conclusions but the constant presence of Max and Annie's physical needs as well as the Max's mother's interference are annoying and distracting.

The story was good, but the author is very repetitive. You can rehash the facts but over and over again.
I do enjoy the fact she includes other mystery novels as a suggestion for your possible reading material. It just gets a little overwhelming at times. It is a quick easy read with a good plot.

An okay cozy mystery. And I realize that the book is 35 years old and sensibilities were different in 1989, but all the fat-shaming of Emily was really harsh.
The best part was Kate Reading's narration.

Since 1989 it hasn’t aged well.
Felt like I was reading someone’s list of books read.
Here are 100 or so books better than the one you’re reading.
Also, seemed a bit too focused on the poor fat girl. My goodness she was fat. How fat was she? Very. Oh and also ugly.
