Annie and Max Darling are throwing a party, and in a
gesture of friendship Annie extends an invitation to new-in-
town Iris Tilford, setting in motion a domino effect of
events of shocking proportions. In truth, Iris isn't new to
the town of Broward's Rock, and her reappearance has made
someone very unhappy.
Iris left Broward's Rock years ago after a young woman was
killed, and for all the years she was away, someone has
gotten away with murder. Iris wants nothing more than to
set the record straight about what she knows about
Jocelyn's death. When Iris ends up dead after Max and
Annie's party, the couple finds themselves in a race
against time to discover which of their friends is a cold-
blooded killer.
DARE TO DIE by Carolyn Hart is a comfy-feeling cozy
that turns chilling as the Darlings come to realize the
murderer is someone they know, and almost no one in their
tight-knit community is above suspicion. Populated with
eccentric characters (I particularly enjoyed local
celebrity, author Emma Clyde!) and written in a style that
gave me a sense of watching a movie unfold in my head, DARE
TO DIE is a most excellent read!
Annie and
Max Darling are completely unprepared when the arrival of
a mysterious young woman shocks their sea island and stirs
up more than just gossip.
It turns out that Iris,
the beautiful stranger, is a former resident of Broward's
Rock. Her arrival throws the normally happy town into a
downward spiral that pits neighbor against neighbor.
Things take a turn for the worse when Annie befriends
Iris and invites her to attend the Darlings' party at the
pavilion where Death is the uninvited guest. Suddenly, Max
and Annie find themselves in the middle of a fight they
don't understand and at the mercy of an unknown assailant
who's trying to kill them—and all they know is that it is
one of their friends.
