In the second charming Jane Lawless mystery, the winter solstice nears and Jane, a Minneapolis restaurateur, is invited to spend the week at Fothergill Inn, a Victorian house-turned B & B. Jane's old friend Leigh has spent years renovating the house and reopening it as an inn and restaurant. The inn has become so successful that people drive the fifty miles from Minneapolis just for dinner. But when Jane and her best friend, Cordelia, arrive for a week of relaxation, they find that the weekend's guests are anything but pleased, and that relaxing is the furthest thing from their minds. Broken glass litters the parking lot, dead animals turn up in the bedrooms, a bomb scare threatens the lives of the inn's guests--there is no doubt that someone is trying to scare the visitors. Then the pranks take a deadly turn when a customer ends up dead, and Jane must help her friend get to the bottom of these malicious and murderous events--before someone else dies.… (more)

2nd Jane Lawless mystery by Ellen Hart.
  LIKEME | May 19, 2012 |
Second in the Jane Lawless series. Jane is a restaurant owner and a lesbian, living in Minneapolis. When she’s invited to spend the Christmas holiday at an old Victorian inn owned by an old friend in a small town in the country, she’s looking forward to getting away from the hustle and bustle for a few days. Needless to say, that doesn’t happen! Someone wants the inn’s owner to sell up, and is playing malicious pranks to drive the customers away. When one of these leads to a death, Jane knows it’s gotten serious and does her best to find who is harassing her friend Leigh. I enjoyed this book more than the first one as the characters become more fleshed out, and I didn’t guess the bad guy either, though I did figure out some of the mini-mysteries that were embedded in the storyline. Excellent stuff, will be looking for more! ( )
