A Small Sacrifice

A Small Sacrifice, of the Jane Lawless Mystery series by Ellen Hart, is thrilling and full of suspense. Hart introduces the six characters (Diana, Curt, Cordelia, Annie,Theo, and Orson) early on in college life at the university of Minnesota as the Shevlin Undergroud. Several years later they reunite in Summer Green, Wisconsin to help out friend Diana with a soon to be fatal drinking problem. The once successful actress moved to Summer Green after her partner, Jill, passed away and restored an old church into a theater. As the friends gather to help save Diana's life one ends up dead with no explanation for the death. Cordelia, a member of the Shevlin Underground ,calls in her friend from back in Minneapolis, amateur detective and restauranteur Jane Lawless, to help her figure out the missing peices of the murder of her mysterious friend. The book keeps the reader on the edge, throwing in twists in every imaginable place. The plot is creative and unpredictable, and ultimately appealing to those with a love for mystery novels.
