Jane Lawless is at her wit’s end keeping her Minneapolis restaurants running while volunteering on her father’s campaign for governor. With an eleven-point lead, the race is Ray Lawless’s to lose, but all that changes when his rival posts a list of violent criminals that are back on the streets early, thanks to Ray’s work during his career as a defense lawyer.
Corey Hodge is one of the convicts that took Ray’s advice to plead guilty for a crime that he swears he didn’t commit. Bitter from time served, revenge lurks in the back of his mind. Then one of Ray’s young campaign volunteers is killed, and with the murder mirroring the crime Corey was convicted of, Jane has to bring the killer to justice to save her father’s political career and to keep Corey from going to prison again.
The high stakes and political intrigue that fuel Sweet Poison, the latest in Lambda and Minnesota Book Award--winning author Ellen Hart’s absorbing Jane Lawless series, make for an intense mystery of ambition and obsession.

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 fifteen previous mysteries featuring Jane Lawless, she lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Hart’s newest mystery spotlighting Minneapolis restaurateur/amateur sleuth Jane Lawless is a relevant tale of upcoming elections, betrayal, and murder. Jane’s dad, attorney Raymond Lawless, is running to become Minnesota’s next governor when his opponent releases a list of all the criminals back on the street thanks to Lawless’ defense work. Add the killing of a campaign volunteer, a mysterious occurrence concerning Ray’s private plane, and the sudden reappearance of Jane’s old flame, Julia, “a woman who lies like she breathes,” for a solidly satisfying sixteenth title in this popular lesbian murder-mystery series. Can the heroine’s long-distance lover, Kenzie, put up with Jane’s life of criminals, cop buddies, and the stress of managing multiple restaurants, not to mention political intrigue and a returning duplicitous ex? Bigger-than-life sidekick Cordelia Thorne, Jane’s best friend and a theatrical director who’s theatrical in every way, not only provides humor but also piercing insights as Hart’s tales grow darker and more contemplative as she plumbs deeper into the convoluted hearts and minds of her fascinating characters. --Whitney Scott
