LakeFOR EVERY EVIL"Another splendid specimen of the classical mystery story, nicely updated and full of interesting and believable characters."--The Purloined Letter"A dilly . . . A fair-play plot and contemporary characters that leap off the page . . .  Stir in Martha Grimes with P. D. James and add a dash of Christie and Amanda Cross and you begin to get the idea: a cozy with a brain."--Alfred Hitchcock Mystery MagazinePraise for Ellen Hart and her Jane Lawless seriesHALLOWED MURDER"Hart's crisp, elegant writing and atmosphere [are] reminiscent of the British detective style, but she has a nicer sense of character, confrontation, and sparsely utilized violence. . . .Hallowed Murderis as valuable for its mainstream influences as for its sexual politics."--Mystery SceneVITAL LIES"This compelling whodunit has the psychological maze of a Barbara Vine mystery and the feel of Agatha Christie. . . .
