4.0 out of 5 stars Henrie O. Gets No Relaxation in This Book, 22 May 2009
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Resort to Murder: A Henrie O Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
It's not a wedding that Henrie O ever expected to attend. She is on a week's trip to Bermuda to attend her former son-in-law's wedding. But after being convinced that her grandkids need her strength to get through the week, she heads south.

Actually, the kids of both the bride and groom are opposed, and the tension is evident from the moment the entire clan arrives at the resort. Lloyd and Connor seem oblivious to it, however. Actually, Connor is oblivious to most things, including how her fiancee reacts when she flirts with every guy in the place.

But the tension only builds when a ghost is spotted at the resort where they are staying. A year ago, when Lloyd and Connor met at this resort, a man fell to his death from a tower. Is his ghost haunting the area now? As Henrie does her best to put the specter to rest, a dead body turns up. Is there a connection to the ghost? And what does it have to do with Henrie's group?

The last couple of books in this series were sub-par, but I am glad to say that this book is back on track. True, Henrie does spend more time than necessary recounting the clues and red herrings that point to each suspect, but that's my only complaint. The story starts strongly and mostly moves forward at a steady pace to the climax. I was confused the entire time. One element of the story is dropped in the rush to end the story, but it took me until the next day to even realize it.

The characters are also strong. We are introduced to the lot at once, yet I never had a hard time keeping them straight. True, some of them fall into cliches if you stop and think about it, but while I was reading the book they felt completely real to me. And the characters give the book a more serious tone than normal for the books I read.

Despite a couple of flaws, I really enjoyed this entry in the series.
