Synopsis

“Three cheers for Henrie O, an intelligent, engaging sleuth!”–Mary Higgins Clark

When retired newspaper reporter Henrietta O’Dwyer Collins, Henrie O to her friends, receives a call for help, she discovers that love once kindled never burns to ashes. Although she refused Jimmy Lennox’s marriage proposal, there is still a special place for him in her heart. She wished him well when he found happiness with Sophia Montgomery, world-famous documentary filmmaker and stepmother to the now grown heirs of a great fortune. Sophia is at odds with the heirs, and Jimmy fears for her safety. He asks Henrie O to come along with the family on a Baltic cruise. Henrie O can’t turn down her old friend, though old passions are stirred when he calls.

On the voyage she soon realizes this dysfunctional family is plunging toward destruction and one of the travelers has murder in mind. As the ports of call pass–Copenhagen, Gdynia, Tallinn, St. Petersburg–death inexorably approaches. Henrie O works desperately to save Jimmy and to bring hope to lives blighted by anger, resentment, and heartbreak.

3.5 stars. A good ending to the series with Henri O going on a cruise on the Baltic Sea at the request of her old friend Jimmy to try and prevent a murder. That doesn't work and she ends up solving it. I liked this story and it was well written.......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne

Hart's Henri O books tend to be slower paced than her other series, but this particular book drags to the midpoint. Hart handles a large cast of characters better than any other author I know, but in this book, too many secondary characters slow it down. Still, if you're a Hart fan, this one is wort......more
