Book Description

A Pulitzer Prize-winning ex-reporter and journalism teacher at ivy-covered Thorndyke University, Henrietta "Henrie O" Collins demands of her students the same steadfast dedication to the truth that was the cornerstone of her own illustrious career. So when beautiful, ambitious Maggie Winslow decides to investigate a trio of hitherto unresolved local crimes, Henrie O urges her to pursue the story with uncommon vigor.

But the gifted future journalist's zeal may have cost her her life. The next day Maggie's corpse is discovered in Lovers' Lane--the very site of one of the unsolved mysteries the extraordinary young woman was exploring at the time of her brutal, premature death. The police and the Thorndyke powers-that-be are rabidly against Henrie O's involvement in the case. But, for Maggie's sake, the stubborn, sixtysomething investigator is determined to dredge up a past everyone seems to want to keep buried even if it means placing herself firmly in a relentless killer's path.

Henrie O in her element.......2006-05-30

In the first two Henrie O mysteries, you read references about Henrietta Collins having been a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, but it's in this book that you get to actually see her strut her stuff. In "Death in Lovers' Lane," Henrie O is teaching at a college in Missouri that is a thinly disguised version of the University of Missouri and its excellent journalism school. Henrie O assigns an arrogant but brilliant student named Maggie Winslow to turn up new evidence in three unsolved cases from long ago. When Maggie turns up dead the very next day, a guilt-ridden Henrie O suspects that its her assignment that led to Maggie's death, and the former journalist sets out to find out who the killer is.

In the process, the intrepid Henrie O reinvestigates the three unsolved cases. She finds out the secret to not one death, but of six. Henrie O demonstrates the grit, tenacity, intelligence, and integrity you'd expect from a world-class reporter.

I know most readers prefer the Death on Demand series. As for me, I'm sticking with Henrie O. I hope you do, too.

Intricately woven tale.......2002-04-16

Henrie O is teaching journalism in a college located in a small town in Missouri. When she encourages her students to pursue investigative reporting, one of them named Maggie Winslow decides to try to solve 3 old police cases which include 2 sets of murders and a disappearance. Maggie feels that the cases may be related and so she begins her own investigation. Soon her body is discovered near one of the previous crime scenes and Henrie O decides that Maggie must have been getting too close to the truth about the cases. Risking her own life in the process, Henrie O picks up the investigation where Maggie left off. She finds many members of the University community who had opportunity and motive for committing one or more of the murders. Intricately weaving the cases throughout the book, Carolyn Hart's main character manages to solve the mysteries in an intriguing way. This is another winner in the Henrie O Series!

Couldn't turn it off........2002-02-19

This was my first Henrie O, and I'm here looking for more. Actually, I listened to the book in the car, and I didn't want to turn the car off when I got to work (or back home, either). In fact, even though it was for "car listening" only, I snuck it inside and finished it the other evening. I fell in love with Miss Marple on the couch watching her on late night movies. I fell in love with Henrie O in the car. I want more, and you will, too.

I really enjoy the Henry O mysteries.......2001-12-16

I find that these mysteries are a bit darker and bit deeper than Ms. Hart's Death on Demand series. However, they are worth the time to read them. I have enjoyed everyone I've read. This book was no exception.

Henrie O is a strong female who has not yet let go of her old reporting attitude although now she's a college prof. She encourages one of her young students, Maggie, to dig deeper into an old mystery of three murders. Maggie begins to do that and ends up dead. Henrie O decides that maybe it was her fault, that she pushed Maggie into the killers path. So picking up the path, Henrie O tries to figure out who killed Maggie and why.

All of the Henrie O novels begin with a short introductory type of chapter but quickly develop into a great mystery. The characters are well thought out.

These Henrie O books are very different from the Death on Demand series. The mysteries are a bit deeper and a bit darker. However, that doesn't make this series any less enjoyable.

Henrie O does it again.......2001-06-27

This was my second Henrie O mystery. I read SCANDAL IN FAIR HAVEN first. I did prefer that book to this one. But this is still a very good book.

Henrie O is always a fun read. She is a 60-something widow that drives an MG. She is working on the campus of Thorndyke University. When one of her top students Maggie Winslow is killed - Henrie O feels guilty. She had prodded Maggie to get more info on 3 old unsolved cases. Now Henrie O is worried she pushed Maggie into the path of a killer.

Henrie O feels obligated to find Maggie's killer. She doesn't believe the woman arrested for the crime is guilty. So off Henrie O goes on her own little adventure.
