Despite an array of suspects to match Griffith's cast of characters-and a promise to her husband, Max, to steer clear of sleuthing-Annie's not about to let the police throw the book at her friend when the real killer remains at large…

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Death on Demand series rarely disappoints. Considered a cozy mystery series, I love the characters and look forward to solving the mystery before Carolyn Hart lets the cat out of the bag. In this one, Alex Griffith is returning home and he tells everyone he is going to expose who the characters actually represent in his home town. A murder waiting to happen.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5DNFAfter 40 minutes, I simply couldn’t take any more. In the first 40 minutes, there were two massive listings of mystery writers. Each one no less than ten names. This followed on the heels of a massive info-dump, at the end of which, I couldn’t remember any of the introduced characters. Finally, in the last ten minutes, I was treated to an exhaustive description of one person, practically down to the size of pores on her nose. I nearly fell asleep listening to this and I was cooking at the time.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As usual, Ms. Hart's Death on Demand cozy series delivers. I always look forward to a new Max and Annie Darling mystery. I love the series because these are two of the most likeable protagonists out there, and the setting always delights. In this book Annie is on her own for most of the book because Max is on a fishing trip with some friends. It's July in Broward's Rock (a small island off the coast of South Carolina) and the weather is steamy. Annie's mystery book store is busy with summer tourists and she's reveling in running her store, making reading recommendations to her customers and setting up a big book party to honour an old Broward's Rock alumni who is a famous author. But Alex Griffiths has brought more than his bestselling book back home. He has promised to do a tell-all about who the characters in his book were based on from his old hometown. And there are lots of people who don't want all these old secrets dredged up. Annie's friend Marian Kenyan happens to be one of them and Annie finds herself drawn in to help her friend when the infamous author is murdered. There are lots of suspects and lots of very good motives for this crime and it takes Annie, Marian and the Broward's Rock small police force to make sure that the right perpetrator is caught.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Best-selling novelist Alex Griffith is returning for a visit to Broward’s Rock. With one steamy blockbuster under his belt, he announces he will put real names to his fictional characters – all from his early years on the island. This does not bode well for any of the people whose secrets he plans to reveal. Of course, he’s killed before he can reveal anything. Despite Annie Darling’s promise to her husband Max not to involve herself in any more murder investigations, our heroine can’t help herself. Besides, Max is away fishing and unavailable by cell phone. Rae Griffith, widow of Alex, is certain the cops are zeroing in on her, so she asks Annie to help figure out who really did kill the victim. Annie is convinced Rae isn’t the murderer. When Rae is arrested, along with the man she’s been having an affair with, Annie slips into high gear to find the real killer. Every step of the way, she knows she’s betraying Max’s confidence to keep her promise. Carolyn Hart just keeps on cranking out these wonderful “Death on Demand” mysteries. By my count Don’t Go Home is #25 since 1987. It’s amazing that she can keep the characters fresh and the stories interesting. I wouldn’t miss a one of them.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Before I start my review, I have good news for all the Death On Demand fans. This was supposed to be the last book in the series, but author Carolyn Hart has decided to continue! She said the characters just wouldn’t stay quiet. Thank you Annie and Max for whispering into your author’s ear! :-) Once again Carolyn Hart has outdone herself. She pulled out all the stops with DON’T GO HOME. It’s no wonder she has won multiple Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity awards, along with an Amelia Award. When it comes to good ole traditional, edge of your seat mysteries, this story tops the list. When I started reading this story, I was just going to read a few chapters than get some work done. I read the entire book without too many breaks. I just didn’t want to put it down until I knew who the killer was. The ending of the book, the reveal, was straight out of a Christie novel! I half expected Miss Marple to walk in and point her finger at the killer. Once you’ve read DON’T GO HOME, you’ll understand why Carolyn Hart has been called America’s Agatha Christie. It’s a title very well earned. Here’s to book twenty-six!
