"Engaging . . . sometimes bittersweet."—Publishers Weekly
"This engrossing, thought-provoking entry . . . proves that long-running series don't have to lose steam."—Library Journal
Restaurateur and part-time P.I. Jane Lawless and her best friend, Cordelia, head north to help a friend on crutches. Tessa and her partner Jill run the Thunderhook Lodge, the premier resort on Lost Lake. And while Tessa clearly needs Jane and Cordelia's assistance, she isn't exactly acting all that grateful.
Tessa has been on edge ever since a man who claims to be a journalist arrived in Lost Lake with an old photograph and some questions for her and her neighbors. He is looking for two aging radicals wanted for the 1960s murder of a policeman. After seeing the photo, Lyndie LaVasser calls Tessa in a near panic as she recognizes the woman in the photo—every time she looks in the mirror. Tessa knows all too well that we can't escape our own pasts and sometimes we get drawn into the pasts of other people.
In The Lost Women of Lost Lake—the most engrossing mystery yet from Lambda and Minnesota Book Award–winning author Ellen Hart—Jane's only hope of protecting her friends from the secrets that are surfacing all around them is to uncover the whole truth before anyone else can.
Ellen Hart is the author of twenty-five mysteries. She is a five-time winner of the Lambda Literary Award, and a three-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award for Best Popular Fiction.

About the Author:
ELLEN HART, "a top novelist in the cultishly popular gay mystery genre" (Entertainment Weekly), is also a Lambda and Minnesota Book Award winner. The author of eighteen previous mysteries featuring Jane Lawless, she lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Review:
“As ever, author Ellen Hart presents first-rate depictions of her locales and her returning characters.... An appealing homage to Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon underscores the bountiful action, which also includes a revelatory scene involving Chess's girlfriend that would made Alfred Hitchcock proud.” ―Yahoo Shine! on The Cruel Ever After
“One of the strengths of Hart's acclaimed series (this is the eighteenth book) is that the rich details about food, family, and place never undermine the swift pacing of her plots. Readers feel so much a part of Jane's world that we'd fight for a table at the Lyme House Restaurant in Minneapolis just for a taste of Jane's corned beef and cabbage.” ―Star-Tribune (Minneapolis) on The Cruel Ever After
“The Lambda Literary Award and Minnesota Book Award–winning author of seventeen Jane Lawless mysteries knows how to spin a tale full of complex plot lines, fast-paced action, and characters skilled in deception. Fans of the Lawless series and readers who enjoy gay/lesbian mysteries will not be disappointed.” ―Library Journal (starred review) on The Mirror and the Mask
“Ellen Hart, one of Minnesota's bestselling mystery writers, weaves a net of complex relationships. . . . Sweet Poison is as much a psychological thriller about unrequited love as a mystery.” ―St. Paul Pioneer Press on Sweet Poison
“Hart is at the top of her game.” ―Curve Magazine on The Mortal Groove
