Review
Rest for the Wicked
“Absorbing. . .A host of complex characters—all living full, rich, and dangerous lives—bolsters the brisk, suspenseful story.”
—Publishers Weekly
The Lost Women of Lost Lake
“Engaging”
—Publishers Weekly
“This engrossing, thought-provoking entry by a Lambda and Minnesota Book Award winner proves that long-running series don't have to lose steam.”
—Library Journal
The Cruel Ever After
“One of the strengths of Hart's acclaimed series (this is the 18th book) is that the rich details about food, family and place never undermine the swift pacing of her plots. Readers feel so much a part of Jane's world that we'd fight for a table at the Lyme House Restaurant in Minneapolis just for a taste of Jane's corned beef and cabbage.”
—Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN)
