Zusatztext Praise for Ellen Hart and her Sophie Greenway mysteries SLICE AND DICE "Mouth-watering . . . A smorgasbord of devilment." --Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine "The pace quickly bubbles from simmer to boil. . . . The complexity of Hart's novel is admirable." --Publishers Weekly THIS LITTLE PIGGY WENT TO MURDER "Strong characters and a rich Lake Superior setting make this solidly constructed mystery hard to put down. Another winner for Ellen Hart!" --M. D. Lake FOR EVERY EVIL "Another splendid specimen of the classical mystery story! nicely updated and full of interesting and believable characters." --The Purloined Letter "A dilly . . . A fair-play plot and contemporary characters that leap off the page . . . Stir in Martha Grimes with P. D. James and add a dash of Christie and Amanda Cross and you begin to get the idea: a cozy with a brain." --Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine Praise for Ellen Hart and her Jane Lawless series HALLOWED MURDER "Hart's crisp! elegant writing and atmosphere [are] reminiscent of the British detective style! but she has a nicer sense of character! confrontation! and sparsely utilized violence. . . . Hallowed Murder is as valuable for its mainstream influences as for its sexual politics." --Mystery Scene VITAL LIES "This compelling whodunit has the psychological maze of a Barbara Vine mystery and the feel of Agatha Christie. . . . Hart keeps even the most seasoned mystery buff baffled until the end." --Publishers Weekly STAGE FRIGHT "Hart deftly turns the spotlight on the dusty secrets and shadowy souls of a prominent theater family. The resulting mystery is worthy of a standing ovation." --Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine A KILLING CURE "A real treat . . . Secret passageways! a coded ledger! a mysterious group known only as the Chamber! experimental drugs! blackmail! sexual assault! betrayal: all the ingredients of a good whodunit." --Lambda Book Report A SMALL SACRIFICE "A smart and shocking thriller." --The Minnesota Daily FAINT PRAISE "Packed with mystery and scheming characters! Faint Praise is one of the year's best. It's no wonder Ellen Hart is everyone's favorite author." --R. D. Zimmerman Informationen zum Autor Ellen Hart’s other novels include Slice and Dice , This Little Piggy Went to Murder , For Every Evil , and The Oldest Sin , as well as the Jane Lawless mysteries: Hallowed Murder , Vital Lies , Stage Fright , A Killing Cure , A Small Sacrifice , and Faint Praise. A two-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award for Best Mystery/Detective Fiction, Ms. Hart is like her fictional heroine Sophie Greenway in two respects: both have had food-related careers (the author was a chef for twelve years) and both have college degrees in fundamentalist Christian theology. She lives in Minneapolis. Klappentext RECIPE FOR MURDER As Minnesota housewives race to meet the deadline for the Times Register' s meat loaf contest, an unsavory small-towner named Kirby Runbeck is blown to smithereens by a car bomb. Days later, the town's former mayor, John Washburn, near death from a stroke, confesses to the killing. His wife and two children vehemently deny it, but when Sophie Greenway, food maven and friend of the family, happens upon an old snapshot, a bundle of letters, and a tattoo of a red-eyed snake, she wonders about Washburn's innocence. Unlike the recipe for a prize meat loaf, this murder is seasoned with spicy secrets and a generous portion of scandal, which Sophie dares to bring to a roiling boil. . . .Rose Hill, Minneso...
