Cheers for Henrie O, an intelligent, engaging sleuth Mary Higgins Clark
Henrie O is looking forward to a quiet holiday. Instead, the ex-journalist turned sleuth awakens in a Tennessee mountain cabin to discover her friend s nephew, his shirt stained with blood, his handsome face stricken by fear and horror.
Craig Matthews swears he didn t kill his wife, swears he didn t lure Patty Kay out to the playhouse of their lavish Fair Haven estate and leave her bloodied and dead. Why, then did he run away? It s a question that draws Henrie O into the thick of a life-and-death drama, into the lives of Fair Haven s best families, and into a world where wealth and privilege mask a hotbed of sex, lies, and desperation.
Only when Henrie O begins to question the motives of the bereaved widower, the sullen nymphet of a daughter, the irresistible ex-husband, the venomous sister, even the ingratiating schoolmaster of the exclusive school where Patty Kay was a trustee, does the truth start to emerge.But when another corpse turns up, Henrie O knows time is running out. Now she must untangle this deadly web or become the next victim of a mind bent on murder."
