Books from the Backlog - Walking on My Grave


Today I'm linking up with Carole from Carole's Random Life of Books for Books from the Backlog.  I really enjoy the chance to feature a book that's been hiding in the piles of books for far too long!


Goodreads:  Walking on My Grave by Carolyn Hart

Blurb:  In the latest Death on Demand Mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of Don’t Go Home book seller Annie Darling learns murder and money go hand in hand...
Annie’s friend and fellow shop owner Ves Roundtree is a very wealthy woman. Her rich brother entrusted her with his estate and upon her death, his fortune is to be divided. Several cash-strapped islanders are in line to collect life-changing inheritances. The problem is, Ves is very much alive.

She hosts a dinner for the prospective beneficiaries and feels a chill in the air that has nothing to do with the wintry season. Not long after, Ves suffers a bad fall that was no accident. Everyone at the table had a motive but not a shred of evidence was left behind.

When one of the suspects is found floating in the harbor and Ves disappears, Annie and her husband Max spring into action to catch a calculating killer before greed takes another life.

Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf:  This is a long running series that I'm not sure I've ever read and this one sounds good.

  7. Oh, another book that sounds really good! Which, like mine from the backlog, is puzzling, since we have neglected these books. The answer: we have too many books! LOL

  8. This does sound good - does the series have to be read in order do you know?
