Something Wicked
Carolyn Hart

I’ve read that Carolyn Hart is often compared to Agatha Christie. I don’t really see it, since to me Agatha Christie represents all that is English and quaint and sneaky, whereas Carolyn Hart is nothing like that. Her books are entertaining, though. Annie irritates me a little with her perfect life: owns a mystery bookstore, is married to a rich, good-looking guy with whom she’s thoroughly infatuated, and the sexual references are just corny and stupid. The South Carolina setting turns me off, as do all Southern locales. Still, I really do enjoy the series.

Anyway, a “summer stock” cast is putting on a presentation of Arsenic & Old Lace. There’s a murder or two, an aging star who’s laying pipe all over town, including a mother and daughter team…. This time Max is a suspect (it’s usually Annie), so Annie has to prove his innocence. ( )
