Death Walked In by Carolyn Hart

Okay, so I'm on book 3. 3 mysteries. Surprise, surprise. ;) I have to get myself to the library to get some more books!

Death Walked In by Carolyn Hart
The series fascinates me because I would love to be like the main character and own a bookstore. As I discussed with D recently, this would be something I would love to do someday when the kids are older and out of the house. Of course I would deal with the books part and not the business part. heehee The book was okay. Not bad, not great. This series is based on two amateur detectives Max and Annie Darling. Annie is the owner of Death on Demand, a mystery bookstore. Max is problem solver of sorts. He is not a private detective b/c that requires a license but he has an office open to help people solve problems. Max apparently had a problem in a recent book and is a avoiding his problem solving business. He has decided to focus on renovating their new home, the Franklin House. There are a few mysteries involved. First, Double Eagle coins are stolen from a wealthy man's home. A woman is found, by Annie, murdered in her home when she calls to Max to retrieve an item from the Franklin house. The woman is the housekeeper of the wealthy man. Soon it is determined that the housekeeper somehow hid the Double Eagle coins in the Franklin, unbeknownst to the Darlings, and was murdered for them. The questions are: Who stole the Double Eagle coins? Who murdered the housekeeper? Where are the Double Eagle coins hidden? Was the housekeeper involved? The book follows Max and Annie Darling as they seek the answers to all the questions with the aid of Max's mother and two friends via email and webcam as they sail aboard a yacht. I would read more books from Carolyn Hart. She is not a difficult read.
