“HART AGAIN IS IN TOP FORM
with skillful plotting and characterization…She is especially successful in creating a complete character in Henrie. This is a senior citizen who refreshingly fits no stereotype, a woman who is as independent, confident and capable as anyone half her age…. In Death In Paradise, Hart continues to show that she is an expert at seamless storytelling.”
Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“A VERY PERSONAL MYSTERY…
Hart has always been a fine writer, but her work gets better with each novel. In Death in Paradise, the reader is captured by the depth of the mood Hart creates in each scene. The award-winning author has a sure winner this time.”
Oklahoma City Oklahoman
“HENRIE O IS THE JANE MARPLE OF THE ’90S.”
Aaron Elkins
“READERS CAN USUALLY COUNT ON HART FOR A WINNING WRITING STYLE, ENGAGING CHARACTERS AND A CLEVER PLOT, AND HER LATEST IS NO EXCEPTION…Hart fans will find plenty to like in this latest installment in a popular series.”
Booklist
“IT’S ALWAYS A DELIGHT TO FIND A NEW BOOK BY CAROLYN HART.”
Chattanooga Times
“HART IS AT HER AWARD-WINNING BEST
as she tightens the suspense and keeps the killer’s identity out of focus until the cliffhanging finale…A cast of murder suspects as exotic as Belle’s dramatic mountainside home…Henrietta O’Dwyer Collins, better known as just Henrie O, proves that toughness is more a mental attitude than a physical attribute in her fourth outing.”
Publishers Weekly
“I’VE MISSED MISS MARPLE…THIS SIXTYSOMETHING SLEUTH IS DEFINITELY HER UPDATED, STREET-SMART SISTER UNDER THE SKIN.”
Margaret Maron
“IT TAKES OFF LIKE AN OLYMPIC SPRINTER OFF THE BLOCKS…The denouement is surprising, but utterly logical…The cast would do Agatha Christie proud.”
Los Angeles Times
“CAROLYN HART EMBODIES THE SPIRIT OF AGATHA CHRISTIE MORE THAN ANY OTHER CONTEMPORARY MYSTERY WRITER.
With her energy, ingenuity, and sparkling sense of humor, Hart writes stories that Dame Agatha herself would have loved.”
Dean James, co-author of By a Woman’s Hand
“HART TAKES THE READER ON A TIGHTLY WRITTEN AND SUSPENSE-FILLED RIDE THAT IS HARD TO PUT DOWN…
She emotionally opens up Henrie O to the reader, offering a character who is both sensitive and filled with anger and pain.”
Huntsville Times
“A SASSY HEROINE…She says what she thinks (when it serves her purposes) and pulls no punches. Think of today’s no-nonsense Lauren Bacall.”
Chicago Sun-Times
“CAROLYN HART IS A SHINING STAR IN THE MYSTERY GALAXY.”
Jackson Clarion-Ledger
“CAROLYN HART IS A JOY TO READ.
She is literate, entertaining, and her Henrie O is a delightful addition to the world of the ‘no-longer-as-young-as-they-were’ sleuths.”
Glen Cove Record-Pilot
“HART GIVES A SENSITIVE, INTROSPECTIVE NATURE TO A SUSPENSEFUL STORY…Mystery lovers won’t want to pass up this opportunity to help Henrie O put her past to rest and solve three murders along the way. Sit back and enjoy the twists and turns…and you’ll see why Hart is an award-winning writer.”
