“Three cheers for Henrie O, an intelligent, engaging sleuth!”–Mary Higgins Clark When retired newspaper reporter Henrietta O’Dwyer Collins, Henrie O to her friends, receives a call for help, she discovers that love once kindled never burns to ashes. Although she refused Jimmy Lennox’s marriage proposal, there is still a special place for him in her heart. She wished him well when he found happiness with Sophia Montgomery, world-famous documentary filmmaker and stepmother to the now grown heirs of a great fortune. Sophia is at odds with the heirs, and Jimmy fears for her safety. He asks Henrie O to come along with the family on a Baltic cruise. Henrie O can’t turn down her old friend, though old passions are stirred when he calls. On the voyage she soon realizes this dysfunctional family is plunging toward destruction and one of the travelers has murder in mind. As the ports of call pass–Copenhagen, Gdynia, Tallinn, St. Petersburg–death inexorably approaches. Henrie O works desperately to save Jimmy and to bring hope to lives blighted by anger, resentment, and heartbreak.

"The story takes place on a cuise ship in the baltic ocean. Since we just took a Baltic cruise this fall the book intrigued me. I tend to like easy read mysteries anyway. It's the first book I've read by Carolyn Hart and I will probably search out more of her books. " — Toshellbell (4 out of 5 stars)

" How many former lovers can this women have? "
" Predictable and overly descriptive, yet still enjoyable for a murder mystery. It did take quite some time for a death to occur in the book, which was disappointing. "
" This was a good read. She played out the plot very well. I really enjoyed it. "
" VERY cliche mystery with all the things you would expect. Not enough excitement for me. "
" Short and to the point: BIG fan of Carolyn Hart mysteries, but didn't love this one. Had a tough time liking any of the characters, and really got kind of annoyed by Henrie O throughout the book. It was only an ok read. "
" Latest in the O. Henry series after a long break. This one is more optimistic than the last two in this series and easily kept my attention. I did find myself wanting to go on a cruise, however. "
" Light-weight & frivolous entertainment for the car (CD) but that is all.... "
" I finished this book on Friday night and I really enjoyed it. The adventures of Henri O and Jimmy kept me in suspense until about half way through the book (I always figures things out early) I would definitely recommend this book. "
" An old-fashioned (but in a good way to me) cozy-ish mystery that is a very quick, entertaining read. I figured out whodunnit, but that didn't matter. "
