- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Henrietta O’Dwyer Collins (a/k/a Henrie O) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning ex-reporter who no longer chases hot news around the globe, but still has the knack for ferretting out key information. This adventure is started when she received a call from an old friend whose granddaughter is missing. Henrie agrees to go to San Antonio to look for the girl. Iris is known to be impetuous and somewhat flighty, so Henrie is hoping that she’s just taken a weekend holiday at the beach and forgot to tell her grandmother. But once Henrie sees that Iris’s apartment has been searched – and not at all neatly – she fears the worst. When she inquires at the prestigious gallery specializing in exquisite (and expensive) Latin American art where Iris was employed, Henrie is met with a wall of silence and/or downright lies. How can she penetrate the defenses of the close-knit Garza family clan who runs the gallery and an attached bed & breakfast? What can she tell the police to interest them in Iris’s disappearance? How can she possibly tell her friend that her granddaughter has truly disappeared – perhaps forever? She uses all her skills as a reporter, and all her charms to finagle her way into the operation. The stakes are even higher after a murder happens in the gallery, and the police suspect the only person who cannot defend himself. There’s more to this story than a missing girl, and Henrie is determined to find out everything.
Hart does a great job of plotting this mystery, and of giving the reader a true sense of the city of San Antonio (my home town). I was caught up in the story quickly, and still able to enjoy the details of the art gallery business and of the city. I particularly liked that Henrie is her own woman. She’s smart, thinks on her feet, is a creative problem solver, and takes matters into her own hands rather than rely on a handy male to save her. Still, Hart writes her exploits consistent with her age and condition. She can’t go “mano a mano” with the bad guy, but she can verbally spar and use her intelligence to outwit or confuse or obfuscate. I think I’ve found a new mystery series heroine to follow. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A frantic phone call from an old and dear friend on the other side of the world sends Henrie O to the fabled city of San Antonio, TX, in search of her friend's devoted granddaughter, iris Chavez. Iris had been working on San Antonio's famous River Walk at the family-owned Tesoros Gallery, a shop renowned for its unquestioned integrity, excellence, and the priceless treasures it hunts for its rich and famous patrons. Iris has disappeared without a word and hasn't been heard from since. Her humble apartment has been ransacked, yet nothing is missing. And nobody at Tesoros seems to care.
