Synopsis
When board members of the Amelia Gower Women's Club begin dying - one by one - lesbian restaurateur Jane Lawless once again exchanges the heat of the kitchen for the sweltering danger of part-time private investigation.
On the eve of a crucial announcement, Charlotte Fortnum, chairwoman of the Board of Directors and prominent community figure, is murdered. Then another board member is found dead in the club's private chamber. Has infighting among the board gone as far as murder? Are the secrets and suspicions swirling around club members and their families worth killing for?
Along with her theatrical sidekick Cordelia Thorn, Jane begins to uncover the dark secrets that linger in the corridors of Minneapolis' oldest women's club. But as Jane takes on a range of high-profile suspects and closes in on the murderer, her own life hangs in the balance....

From the Publisher
This title was my introduction to Ellen Hart and her restaurateur-sleuth Jane Lawless. Despite my being new to the mystery genre, after only a few chapters with Jane and her outrageous best friend Cordelia, I became an instant fan who would gladly follow these amateur sleuths anywhere. Whether it's due to the atmospheric charm of a Minneapolis winter (enjoyed from the warmth of my couch, of course), the mouth-watering descriptions of sinful food, the well-crafted puzzles and building suspense, or the good-natured humor between two very different best friends, Ellen Hart's fictional world -- like a favorite hangout -- is a place you'll wish to visit again and again.
--Patrick Price, Senior Publicist
From the Inside Flap

As soon as restaurateur-sleuth Jane Lawless begins investigating these murders, wheels within wheels start to turn, meshing private lives with the club's inner workings. Even Jane's new lover, Dorrie, is somehow involved in the diabolical proceedings....
