5.0 out of 5 stars As enjoyable as all the others, Jul 26 2005

By A Customer

This book is an enjoyable read -- just as all the other Annie and Max Darling books. Annie's mother-in-law is as usual quite a hoot. Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Enough already with the mystery allusions!, Feb 23 2004

By	Annag Chandler "Crane & Dragon" (San Francisco, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deadly Valentine (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm in the minority here -- I hated this book. I never really warmed up to Annie and Max, perhaps because I hadn't read earlier books in the series (although I loved mother-in-law Laurel). But I just couldn't take all of the allusions to other mysteries -- sometimes several times in one paragraph. I only finished the book because I had it with me on a long airplane trip, and even at that I set it aside for a discarded Harlequin romance right in the middle of the mystery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Valentine Day murder, Jun 18 2002

By	Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Deadly Valentine (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

I'm kind of torn over which Annie & Max book I love the most -- Deadly Valentine or Southern Ghost. Read more
