Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Lambda Award-winner Hart continues the story of lesbian Minneapolis restaurateur Jane Lawless (Robber's Wine, 1996) in this slightly bland tale of a chillingly dysfunctional family. Jane's new tenant is Elliot Beauman, a children's-book author who seems to have a psychic touch when it comes to finding killers. Down the street, his sister Patricia moves in and is helping Jane plan a neighborhood get-together. As they get to know each other, Jane learns that Patricia's former fiance in Iowa recently committed suicide after she broke up with him. Jane is soon contacted by a PI who has been hired by the fiance's parents who believe their son may have been murdered. The more Jane learns about Elliot and Patricia, the more they trouble her, and her worries increase when she discovers that her house is where their older brother once suffered a paralyzing fall from the roof. Why did they move back to their old neighborhood, with its tragic memories? As Jane probes for an answer, the bones of a young girl are unearthed in her backyard, and she suspects that one of the siblings knows way too much about murder. Hart adeptly wraps up the puzzles, and she also keeps questions about Jane's private life sufficiently unresolved to lure fans back for the next installment.

From Library Journal

Sometime sleuth Jane Lawless (Robber's Wine, LJ 8/96), who runs a restaurant in Minneapolis, finds that a man she rents to supposedly experiences psychic visions of murder. Jane's friend, the inimitable Cordelia Thorn, still assists. An engaging series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Games, Nov 30 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Wicked Games: A Jane Lawless Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
After a cursory glance at the back cover to see the gist of the story I was surprised to realize the main character was gay once I started reading the book. Obviously I didn't read the back cover very closely! Anyway, the story is excellent and I truly enjoyed Ellen Hart's writing style. I laughed out loud a couple of times at conversations between Jane and Cordelia. The suspense was tight and made it very hard to put the book down. I look forward to reading more of Ellen Hart's Jane Lawless mysteries.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, Jun 17 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Wicked Games: A Jane Lawless Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
With this book and the next two that follow it, Ellen Hart has established herself as the lesbian Sue Grafton! I not only found the book suspenseful, I found it unpredictable. I highly recommend it. Of course, you may want to purchase Hunting the Witch, so you have it on hand as soon as you are done with this one!
