Members Reviews:
Do Bears Eat Raw Meat?
Yes, that is a question seriously asked by the Cordelia Thorne character. Funny thing is I've known my share of artistic types, including those devoted to the theater--attended high school for a year with actor Aasif Mandvi--and all of them were pretty conventional people. None were that dense in other subjects.
This character, however, shines at the end of "Wicked Games". Ellen Hart's well written characters, the good as well as the villains, were what made this particular Jane Lawless mystery so enjoyable.
They're very close to people I've actually known, including the burned out teacher. I briefly worked with a burned out history teacher. There's definitely a regular reader of this series & possibly a visitor to the Twin Cities here.
Wicked-ly Good Reading
In my review for Hart's An Intimate Ghost, I swore off the Jane Lawless series, as the end was unsatisfying. But, in the mystery section of my local library, a few Jane Lawless books were available and I couldn't pass them up! I am so glad I checked out Wicked Games, because it was such an awesome read. Hart's description of autumn in Minnesota is breathtaking, with the bad and good weather combined. A nice treat was Jane and Cordelia sunbathing on an unusually warm day in October. Then, up in a remote part of the state, Jane's lover, Julia, reports an early snow. Details of the weather, along with succinct descriptions of places and highways, add to the suspense in Wicked Games.
Jane has more than one mystery to solve. Try four or five! She's got a mysterious new tenant. A new neighbor, who happens to be the tenant's kid sister, has a CRUSH on Jane, and lets her know it. Then there's the mysterious bones found on Jane's property- whose are they? And then Jane discovers a few suicides that seem to be more than coincidence. And, finally, why is Jane's lover, Julia, soooo mysterious? Mystery mystery mystery for Jane and best friend/partner-in-sleuthing , Cordelia Thorn.
Jane is an awesome sleuth, chef, friend, and sister. Cordelia is the kooky best friend who will do anything for Jane. Bean is the adorable little pet dog of Jane, and you will just want him to curl up in your lap as you read these pages.
