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.

"A Real Treat ... Secret passageways, a coded ledger, a mysterious group known only as The Chamber, experimental drugs, blackmail, sexual assault, betrayal: all the ingredients for a good whodunit."
