Book Description

March 1, 2003 Mick Hart Mystery, 3
Mick Hart returns in a case that is both professional and personal to the private investigator.

It's Election Day Tuesday. In the news, Odelot, Ohio elects its first African American mayor. A fatal car jacking has left a woman dead. Two teenage girls are missing: Sapphire (Mary's Little Lamb) and Brook, the daughter of John Lincoln, Odelot's, first African American mayor. PI, Mick Hart is called upon to find one of the missing girls, while Odelot's finest searches for the other. The search for Mary's Little Lamb may lead Mick to the other missing teen. Who and what Mick finds through his investigation brings one family joy and the other family pain.

Some say Sapphire is blessed, others say she’s cursed with the ways, wiles and voluptuous genes of her mother Mary. Mick's search for Mary's Little Lamb leads him to a pack of wolves. These wolves prowl the schoolyards and shopping malls of Odelot and the information highway of the Internet, preying on little lambs. They hang out on playgrounds as child pimps and lurk online as wolves in sheep's clothing. It's up to Mick Hart to find out which ones have nabbed the missing teens.

Mick has a personal grudge toward the newly elected mayor John Lincoln. It's unknown whether Mick lets his hostility interfere with his duty in finding Brook, Lincoln's daughter. If Mick does agree to find the missing teen, it will cost Lincoln. The price comes with Lincoln divulging a painful secret from his past . . . a secret that answers the why to this cozy whodunit romantic mystery.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lawrence Christopher is an apt storyteller!, May 30, 2003
This review is from: Mary's Little Lamb: a Mick Hart Mystery (Mick Hart Mystery, 3) (Paperback)
The infamous Mary Jane Jenkins murder case that caught the attention of avid readers in the debut novella, All About Mary, continues, with her 14 year old daughter, Sapphire, being the catalyst that sets everything in motion in Christopher's latest, Mary's Little Lamb.

This novella opens with the good citizens of Odelot, Ohio hearing some very disturbing news on the radio: the Mayor's teenage daughter, Brook Lincoln, is missing and a woman is killed during an attempted car jacking. Not long after hearing this broadcast, Private Investigator Mick Hart, receives a call and is hired to look into the disappearance of another teen, the infamous Miss Sapphire Jenkins. What begins as two unrelated missing person cases actually turns out to be more related than anyone imagined. While Odelot's entire police force and FBI are working around the clock on the Brook Lincoln case, Mick Hart, a lone PI, is not only getting close to finding out what happened to his client, Sapphire, but he's also getting close to locating Brook and the folks responsible for both girls' abductions. So, will Mick Hart be able to save both of them in time? You'll just have to read this one to find out!

Mary's Little Lamb is a short, fast paced read that is filled with credible characters and a crisp realistic dialogue that will appeal to young adult readers. I admire the author's use of popular headlines news, entertainment media stories and the Internet to make this a relevant story of our time. But, when it comes to being a well crafted mystery novel, this one lacks all the fascinating clues and intricate plot framework which satisfies true mystery buffs' passion for detection. Still, the overall premise of the story is good and shows that Christopher is an apt storyteller!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tie that Binds, January 22, 2012
This review is from: Mary's Little Lamb: a Mick Hart Mystery (Mick Hart Mystery, 3) (Paperback)
I like the connection between Mary Jenkins and Mick Hart's stories. One does not overshadow the other.

Mary's daughter Sapphire is growing up and has to deal with the benefits and pressures of physically maturing before mentally maturing.

This book is a great reminder and in some ways a warning that growing up is more difficult today than in the past.

This review is from: Mary's Little Lamb: a Mick Hart Mystery (Mick Hart Mystery, 3) (Paperback)
This book deals with a number of family and social issues, while entertainingly pulls you through a whimsical mystery. It is a recommended read for adults, to then pass on to their teenagers.
