Synopsis

(2nd in Henrie O Mystery series)

Henrietta O'Dwyer Collins, known to her friends as Henrie O, is America's favorite ex-journalist turned sleuth. These days she's looking forward to a quiet holiday at a wealthy friend's mountain cabin in Tennessee. Instead, Henrie O finds herself in the middle of another murder mystery -- this time in the well-heeled neighborhood of Fair Haven. Married to the daughter of a prominent citizen, her friend's nephew appears one morning covered in his wife's blood -- but he swears he didn't kill her. The killing draws Henrie into the lives of the town's best families, and into a world where privilege masks a hotbed of sex, lies, and desperation. But when another corpse turns up, Henrie O knows time is running out. Now she must untangle a deadly web of deceit - or become the next victim of an unknown killer.

"Cheers for Henrie O, an intelligent, engaging sleuth!" (Mary Higgins Clark)

Henrie O is on a roll. She is a sleuth who must find out who the murderer is in Fair Haven. Henrie O is one of my favorite characters in a book. She is an elderly woman who is good at asking the right questions and getting to the truth eventually when she puts herself in danger.......more

Goodreads review by Pamela on October 02, 2019

There was something sadly irritating about this book and it took me a while to figure it out. Carolyn Hart had made a villain out of the Fair Haven cop and there was no reason to do so. And that impression stuck with me through what otherwise was an engrossing mystery with interesting characters. He......more

For a book I picked out of a box from my parent’s house at random, this was a pretty good read! Plenty of red herrings and an interesting premise helped balance the fact that I didn’t love any of the characters-Including the main one, our heroine Henry O. Worth a read if you are down to pulling rand......more
