Part of "Jane Lawless" series
"The Iron Girl" by Ellen Hart is a gripping mystery novel that follows the story of Jane Lawless, a Minneapolis restaurateur and amateur sleuth, as she becomes embroiled in the death of a prominent businesswoman. The victim, known as the "Iron Lady" for her tough and unyielding demeanor, was found dead in her home, and all signs point to a natural cause of death. However, Jane can't shake the feeling that something is off about the situation and begins to investigate. As Jane digs deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets and lies that surround the Iron Lady and her family. From a bitter business rivalry to a long-held family secret, Jane soon realizes that the Iron Lady's death may not have been as natural as it first appeared. With the help of her friends and a tenacious reporter, Jane sets out to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice. Hart's writing is sharp and engaging, and she masterfully weaves together multiple storylines to create a complex and satisfying mystery. The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the setting of Minneapolis is brought to life in vivid detail. The Iron Girl is a page-turner that will keep readers guessing until the very end. This novel is the second in the Jane Lawless series, but it can be read as a standalone. Fans of traditional mystery novels, such as those by Agatha Christie or Louise Penny, will enjoy the intricate plot and clever twists in The Iron Girl. Readers who appreciate strong female protagonists and complex family dynamics will also find much to love in this book. Overall, The Iron Girl is a highly recommended read for anyone who enjoys a well-crafted mystery with a touch of humor and heart.
