Scandal in Fair Haven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780553565379)

"Cheers for Henrie O, an intelligent, engaging sleuth "--Mary Higgins Clark

Henrie O is looking forward to a quiet holiday. Instead, the ex-journalist turned sleuth awakens in a Tennessee mountain cabin to discover her friend's nephew, his shirt stained with blood, his handsome face stricken by fear and horror.

Craig Matthews swears he didn't kill his wife, swears he didn't lure Patty Kay out to the playhouse of their lavish Fair Haven estate and leave her bloodied and dead. Why, then did he run away? It's a question that draws Henrie O into the thick of a life-and-death drama, into the lives of Fair Haven's best families, and into a world where wealth and privilege mask a hotbed of sex, lies, and desperation.

Only when Henrie O begins to question the motives of the bereaved widower, the sullen nymphet of a daughter, the irresistible ex-husband, the venomous sister, even the ingratiating schoolmaster of the exclusive school where Patty Kay was a trustee, does the truth start to emerge. But when another corpse turns up, Henrie O knows time is running out. Now she must untangle this deadly web--or become the next victim of a mind bent on murder.
