The Christie Caper

Rating:
Summary: Great Homage to Agatha Christie
Review: This "Death on Demand" mystery which features Annie and Max Darling is a terrifically fun and witty tribute to Agatha Christie, whom Carolyn Hart plainly idolizes (was Max Darling named after Agatha's husband Max Mallowan?). The plot involves a murder which takes place at an Agatha Christie Centenary celebration. Needless to say, Annie and Max step in and solve the crime with the wit and style fans have come to expect from them. The plot is fresh and fast-paced and never lags. The salute to Christie is an added bonus for Hart's fans.Anyone who loves Agatha Christie, Carolyn Hart or just mysteries in general will appreciate this fine book. Highly recommended

Summary: Yea for Carolyn Hart!
Review: This is the book that not only solidified my love for Carolyn Hart's work (it was the 3rd book I read by her) but it prompted me to read Agatha Christie's books as well. It makes a lot more sense to me now that I've read many of Dame Agatha's books, but a knowledge of her is not necessarily mandatory for enjoying The Christie Caper. The ending of this book is one of the more enjoyable of any of the mystery books I've ever read.

Summary: Christie Lover's Paradise
Review: Those readers who enjoy a good Agatha Christie book will love this intricately detailed story. The more fond of Christie you are, the better you can appreciate this book. There are countless references to the great author's life, her books, and her characters. The book is set at a gathering for Christie fans and the story that embroils Max and Annie and the Broward's Rock crew is really well executed. The events are tied together well and the mystery itself is not a predictable one so curl up with this book and enjoy. It is a book you can love even without detailed knowledge of Agatha Christie or having read the other Death on Demand books.
