Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
A promising new relationship gives Jane Lawless, Minneapolis restaurateur and occasional sleuth, the courage to finally deal with the boxed-up possessions of her long-dead lover, Christine, in this shrewd and consistently entertaining whodunit. Real estate agent Christine's last clients belonged to the wealthy, eccentric Simoneau family, three of whose members were murdered just before her death. After interviewing the convicted killer, Jane is convinced of his innocence and even more curious about Christine's involvement. She finds more than a few skeletons in the closet when she seeks answers from the pair of bickering survivors still inhabiting the decaying Simoneau family mansion. Meanwhile, Jane offers her trust and support to a young photography student who's a doppelganger for Christine. The photographer's timely appearance is all too coincidental for the suspicious Cordelia, Jane's best friend, who adds her sharp tongue, audacious fashion sense and investigative assistance. Cordelia's sometimes overzealous protectiveness comes in handy when the long-hidden true killer surfaces. Hart (An Intimate Ghost, etc.) delivers vivid, off-the-beaten-track characters and enough clues and layers of intrigue to keep the pages turning.

From Booklist
Are we boats in a current ceaselessly bearing us into the past? The latest of Hart's sleuthers featuring lesbian restaurateur Jane Lawless seems to re-pose Nick Carraway's big question. Jane has long been mourning lover Christine's 1987 death, but a promising relationship with Kenzie means it's time to move on. While cleaning out the virtually untouched boxes of Christine's things, Jane discovers a gun in the dead realtor's briefcase, recalling a time when Chris had been selling a house for the wealthy, eccentric Simoneaus, three of whom were murdered the night before her death. Further exploration unearths ghosts from the past and revives Jane's yearning for Christine, which intensifies when she meets young photographer Greta, a dead ringer for the dead lover. Hiring the look-alike to document the rehabbing of a new theme restaurant Jane is developing seems natural. Longtime friend and sidekick Cordelia objects, but does Jane listen? Of course not, much to the gladdening of established and new Lawless fans everywhere. Whitney Scott
