A sophisticated and suspenseful cozy mystery where a luxurious seaside getaway turns into a deadly trap — and one clever journalist must uncover the truth before the tide comes in.
 
When retired news reporter Henrietta O’Dwyer Collins — better known as “Henrie O” — accepts an invitation to a Caribbean resort, she expects relaxation and sunshine, not murder. But when a shocking death shatters the island’s calm, Henrie O quickly realizes that everyone around her has something to hide. As she digs deeper into the past, old scandals and new betrayals rise to the surface, and Henrie O finds herself racing to expose a killer before the next victim disappears into the surf.
 
In Resort to Murder, Carolyn Hart delivers a clever and atmospheric mystery set against the glittering backdrop of an exclusive tropical hideaway. When a friend’s daughter dies under suspicious circumstances, Henrie O’s instincts tell her it’s no accident. Her search for the truth takes her into a world of privilege, passion, and deceit — where every guest has a secret, and appearances are deceiving.
 
As the tension rises and the resort’s sunny façade begins to crumble, Henrie O must rely on her journalist’s training and unshakable intuition to piece together the puzzle. Equal parts elegant and thrilling, Resort to Murder showcases Carolyn Hart’s gift for blending sharp suspense with heartfelt storytelling — a perfect escape for readers who love their mysteries with both glamour and grit.
