Summary: Valentine Day murder
Comment: Annie and Max Darling have just moved into their new home. They have a lot of interesting neighbors, especially Sydney Cahill who goes after every man she meets, including Max. Annie is not too interested in going to Sydney's Valentine party, but Max's mother comes to visit and decides that it would be great fun for the three of them to attend the party. When Sydney turns up murdered, there are no lack of suspects since she was involved with most of the neighborhood men and there are many jealous wives. Annie and Max check into their neighbor's backgrounds and discover even more motives. They are totally confused until Max's mother Laurel calls Annie's hand by inviting all of the neighbors to a meeting so that Annie can unveil the murderer's identity. Annie has no idea who committed the murder until she hears some of Laurel's conclusions during the meeting. Finally, Annie confronts the murderer and puts Laurel's life in danger as a consequence. This is another good cozy from the reliable Carolyn Hart.

Summary: Such Fun!
Comment: I'm kind of torn over which Annie & Max book I love the most -- Deadly Valentine or Southern Ghost. However, if you like light mysteries, you can't go wrong with a Hart book. Annie & Max are the most delightful detective spouses since Nick and Nora Charles. And I, like the reader from Illinois, like it when authors use the same characters from book to book -- The town of Broward's Rock and its inhabitants are utterly charming. And for goodness sake, take heed to the writers/books Hart makes reference to -- some of them are wonderful!

Summary: A new version of the cozy
Comment: This is a nice variation on the "locked room cozy" where several people, all having reason to want someone dead, are secluded in a room (an island subdivision in this case) and surprise, surprise, the hated person ends up dead. Some of the suspects are particularly nasty and you may want them all to be guilty so they'll all go to jail (but don't worry, this isn't Murder on the Orient Express.) A good time.
