    About this audiobook

    Edgar Award finalist Linda Barnes has been justifiably heralded for her scintillating mysteries. In Heart of the World, private investigator Carlotta Carlyle begins a frantic search when a young girl she's been mentoring goes missing. Clues seem to indicate that the disappearance has something to do with the girl's Colombian drug lord father-a man believed dead but who Carlotta now suspects is very much alive.

      I had forgotten all about this series when I picked this up...I read the first few to like 4 or 5 and then just stopped having an interest in them. This was a good story in the private eye Carlotta's life. Her "little sister" goes missing and she tracks her down in S.America. I forgot how much I enjoyed the characters, and will now reup the reading of the series ;)

      bearing in mind that I am on holiday while reading this I enjoyed it immensely, even woke up one morning and devoured the last 3rd before getting out of nightwear!. A particularly difficult kidnapping puzzle - from Boston to Miami to Colombia. Manages to mix in drug trade, fraud, political issues, social anthropology, myths, old feuds, detective work, romance, relationships, danger , stepping out of the comfort zone, tragedy.

      Linda Barnes is one of my fave mystery authors. Another riveting read!
