I would go with that. As you look from outlet to outlet you will eventually find a problem wire. It will be loose or burnt, etc.
Measuring the power is a good helper in the checking. As an electrician, I think the other commenter took for granted his/her experience and failed to keep explaining. There will be plenty of outlets with no power to them in your situation. Keep moving around the room until you find the next nearest one that works. Pull out the working outlet and tug a little on the wires to see if they are loose. If the first working one is not the problem, look the other direction for the next nearest working outlet and do the same. Older houses were wired from the light to the outlets, where newer houses are wired around the room from outlet to outlet. Either way, no matter what method was used the problem , most likely is the result of a loose connection.
