Other titles in the Jane Lawless Mysteries series:Rest for the Wicked (Jane Lawless Mysteries)by Ellen Hart
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Armed with little more than a message on her phone from a dead man, PI and restaurateur Jane Lawless races to find a killer DeAndre Moore came to Minneapolis from St. Louis to clear up a misunderstanding. But when the situation gets out of hand, he reaches out to P.I. Jane Lawless just as his uncle, Janes partner Andy Nolan, told him to. However, the message Moore leaves on Janes phone becomes a voice from beyond the grave when she discovers that he left it minutes before he was knifed outside of a gentlemens club. And soon his murder isnt the only one. With Nolan in the hospital, Jane sets out to find out who killed his nephew and what his death has to do with the others in another outstanding addition to Ellen Harts award-winning mysteries series. Review:"In Hart's absorbing 20th mystery featuring Minneapolis restaurant owner Jane Lawless (after 2011's The Lost Women of Lost Lake), Jane looks into the stabbing death of DeAndre Moore, the nephew of Alf Nolan, whose PI agency employs Jane as a fledgling partner. When a dishwasher at GaudyLights, the upscale strip club outside of which Moore was knifed, confesses to the crime, the Minneapolis police close the case. Already distracted by her problematic restaurants and her continually evolving lesbian relationships, Jane nonetheless marshals her considerable energy and wits to uncover a string of connected murders that began in St. Louis more than 30 years earlier. The answers to the killings may lie within the confines of the strip club and in the hands of its smarmy owner, Vince Bessetti, whose questionable relationships are explored in blistering detail. A host of complex characters — all living full, rich, and dangerous lives — bolsters the brisk, suspenseful story. Agent: Deborah Schneider, Gelfman Schneider Literary."

However, by the time Jane listens to his voice mail, shes hearing a voice from beyond the grave—DeAndre left the message only minutes before he was knifed to death outside a gentlemens club. Soon his murder isnt the only one.
