Fourth in the Death on Demand mystery series revolving around Annie Laurance, the owner of the Death on Demand bookstore located on Broward's Rock.My TakeIt's loyalty to a friend and a search for the truth.

ok i want to write a letter to the author telling her i will never purchase another of her books because of the gratuitous way in which she slanders conservatives. I don't know the demographics of the audience for mystery "cozies" which is what this is, but I guess it must be overwhelmingly libe...
