Publisher's Summary:

After years spent mourning the death of her partner, Christine Kane, Minneapolis restaurateur Jane Lawless thinks she's ready to move on. That is, until she finds a gun among Christine's belongings. The night before Christine died of cancer, three members of the Simoneau family, Christine's real estate clients, were murdered. The timing of their deaths appeared coincidental and Jane always assumed Christine knew nothing of the family's secrets. But as she searches for clues to understand what really happened all those many years ago, the gun and a few other discoveries begin to convince Jane otherwise.

Where past and present collide, Ellen Hart's latest mystery in this Lambda and Minnesota Book Award-winning series proves that she remains one of the genre's best.

Captivating yet comfortable

I absolutely love the Jane Lawless series. I feel like I know the main characters. Iron Girl is good read. It's captivating yet comfortable. I love trying to figure out the antagonist yet it always eludes me till the end. I've got 4 more Ellen Hart mysteries ordered and as long as whe writes them I will read them.

Another good Jane Lawless.

This was and enjoyable read, another good Jane lawless mystery. You can see how Jane has matured over the series.

Not what it used to be.

I've always been a great fun of Ellen Hart. All of her earlier books were page turners and trully funny. The last books of the Jane Lowless series (like "The Iron Girl") seem to be a stretch and even Cordelia isn't funny any more.

The past comes back to haunt Jane Lawless

After years of mourning, Minneapolis restaurateur and amateur sleuth Jane Lawless is finally starting to come out of the funk she fell into following the tragic death of her partner Christine Kane. Having found new hope from her long distance relationship with Kenzie Mullroy, she tackles the sad task of going through the boxes of Christine's personal items that she had stored away. Much to her dismay, she discovers a gun amidst Christine's keepsakes which had been deemed a key piece of evidence in a notorious murder trial some eighteen years before. Desperate to know what Christine's involvement in that case was, she undertakes a private investigation into a sensational triple murder which has generated controversy locally and nationally for nearly two decades.

Although this was my first Jane Lawless book (The Iron Girl is the thirteenth book in the series which began in 1989 with Hallowed Murder), I felt as if I had been reading about her for ages. Falling under Hart's spell within a few pages, I took an immediate interest in Jane and her extended family, and in the small corner of Minnesota where The Iron Girl is set. Hart lays her cards on the table with great patience, stringing her readers along with an intoxicating mixture of danger, humor and romance, keeping them riveted until she can deliver her jolting and satisfying conclusion. They say you'll always remember your first, and that's definitely true for me in the case of Jane Lawless, Ellen Hart and The Iron Girl.

This is Ellen Hart's Best Yet!

There is no doubt that we are blessed with many talented mystery writers. There are, however, only a handful of books each year that are exceptional. Ellen Hart's The Iron Girl is one of those.
