Book Description

Carolyn Hart's ex-reporter sleuth, Henrietta "Henrie 0" O'Dwyer Collins, joins a wedding party in glorious Bermuda -- only to discover that death is an uninvited guest.Resort To Murder

Retired Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Henrietta Collins no longer races around the globe in pursuit of news. But her talent for troubleshooting and her zest for life are much needed at a family gathering in sunny Bermuda, where murder prowls the halls of a luxury hotel. Henrie 0 has come to the island with her grandchildren for the remarriage of their father, Lloyd Drake. Henrie O's former son-in-law plans to marry Connor Bailey, a beautiful widow with a dark past and a knack for attracting men. Only a year earlier, the resort manager's husband fell from a tower to his death after quarreling with Connor. And now it seems that his restless spirit is haunting the hotel -- and perhaps seeking revenge.

Henrie 0 has no patience for bogus supernatural appearances, no matter how artfully done. But when she sets out to unmask the "ghost's" creator, she soon realizes there's much more at stake.

A second death -- a fatal fall from a cliff -- makes it clear to Henrie 0 that great evil is afoot in this elegant enclave kissed by warm turquoise water, glistening pink sands, and balmy ocean breezes. With everyone connected with the once-joyous planned union of Lloyd and Connor now both a suspect and a potential target of a fiendishly relentless killer, Henrie 0 is gravely concerned for the well-being of her loved ones. It is more than motivation enough for the accomplished amateur sleuth to take investigative matters into her own able hands despite the risks. Decades of experience have taught her that there are some lethal secrets that haunt both the innocent and the guilty alike, vengeful spirits who will not rest until some terrible blood debt has been repaid in full.

pale by comparison.......2006-11-18

I read this book because my friend had read it just before we were to take a cruise to Bermuda. I thought it would give me a flavor of Bermuda, but after we toured for our two days, the book paled by comparison. The book takes place at a hotel. Hart gives us a glimpse of lush foliage and craggy hills, but nearly all the characters spend most of their time at the hotel, so she doesn't reveal the pink beaches with clear aqua water, the catamarans ferrying tourists from dock to dock, or the cheery residents with their Caribbean-like British accents. She mentions restaurants and nightclubs in the boutique-y town of Hamilton, but doesn't describe them. The writing is full of cliches -- footsteps are hurried,, heels always click, people knock on doors, but there is no answer, and Diane runs her hand through her red-gold hair again and again. I enjoy supersmart detectives like Holmes, Nero Wolfe, Sam Spade, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot, but Henrie O is ordinary through and through. I felt the other characters were two-dimensional, often stereotyped (pardon the pun). In fact, the mystery seems to depend on the fact that she presents the murderer according to a certain stereotype. One important character drops out of sight for no apparent reason. In the end, the solution depends on the murdere's having committed an illegal act, so the reader who isn't privy to this matter can't possibly solve the murder. For some reason I can't analyze, it wasn't totally boring, but it was not really stimulating to me.

Quintessential and Wonderful Whodunit.......2005-08-29

Carolyn Hart has such a command of language and pacing, developing the plot and building tension. She leant such color to this story with the setting in Bermuda. The texture and tones of the island seeped through and captured my imagination. As always, she delivered an interesting mystery. Most of all, I like her understated, but very knowledgeable view of human nature, which is how Henrie O is able to solve murders so well.

A challenging puzzle for a favorite sleuth.......2002-07-06

Carolyn Hart is, in my opinion, the most accomplished and the best traditional mystery writer today. Her two series, the Death on Demand series and the Henry O series, closely follow the "cozy" customs. Her sleuths, bookseller Annie Darling in the first and retired journalist Henrietta Collins in the second, are people you'd like to know. They are amateurs, characters who are fully developed and who often find themselves in peril. Through wit, ingenuity and creativity they solve the crime at hand. The emphasis in each story is the reasoning by the protagonist that leads to the eventual solution of the crime(s).

In RESORT TO MURDER, Henry O joins her grandchildren and ex-son-in-law at a Bermuda resort for his wedding. The bride is a compulsive flirt, who can't seem to stay away from men. The groom is jealous. Stir into this mix a hotel owner whose husband may have committed suicide because of the bride-to-be, a granddaughter who dislikes the bride so much she threatens to kill her, a touch of blackmail and a roaming "ghost" and you have a story you won't want to put down until you finish it.

Hart's strong point is puzzle solving. We follow Henry O's analyses, her interventions and consequences and her re-evaluations until right up to the conclusion. Then the story finishes with the classical confrontation scene that is almost a "must" in this kind of story.

I've read all of Hart's books and eagerly await the next. If you haven't met Henry O or Annie Darling yet, put them at the top of your to-read list. You won't be sorry.

Love Henrie O.......2002-06-26

Carolyn Hart is one of my favorite authors in the mystery genre and she did not disappoint me with this entry in the Henrie O series. I enjoy this series as much as the Death on Demand series she writes and am always glad to see a new one coming out. In this episode, Henrie O is recovering from an illness and attends her former son-in-law's wedding on a resort island. A murder occurs and, of course, Henrie O works to solve the mystery. As always, Hart's writing is dead-on; her characterizations are excellent, there are clues to help the reader along without giving the solution away easily, and the descriptions of the surrondings are vivid enough to make the reader feel as if s/he knows where s/he is.
Hart's next book is a Death on Demand book and I hope that the next one will be another Henrie O. It is nice to have the break between the episodes of the two series.

Wedding in Bermuda.......2002-05-07

Henrie O receives an unusual wedding invitation to Bermuda. She is invited to the wedding of her former son-in-law, Lloyd to a wealthy and beautiful widow, Connor Bailey. Although she is not that eager to attend, Henrie O decides to go in order to support her grandchildren. Connor is not particularly happy to be in Bermuda because the last time she was there, a friend of hers plunged off a tower to his death. From the minute Connor arrives, she is frightened by ghostly apparitions and supposed visitations from the dead man. Both Connor's and Lloyd's families are unhappy about the marriage between them, but the family members seem to try to make the best of the situation. When a murder occurs, someone is put on the spot and accused of being the murderer. Henrie O doesn't believe that justice is being done, so she sets out to find the perpetrator. This is another good read in the Henrie O series.
