This is one of the truly rare mysteries...
A truly original mystery ... with a great protagonist
I don't know who I liked more, the lesbian sleuth Jane Lawless or her slightly overweight (yeah!) buddy Cordelia! More than just a "whodunnit," this book is part character study, part Minnesota travelogue, and very much a good read. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

She has also crafted her main characters well to convey a sense of friendship, intimacy, and an amazing sense of humor.
This not only fine writing within the mystery format, it is fine writing, period.
Needless to say, the lesbian element was handled beautifully. This is the kind of statement about gays which should be made because it transcends the garish, tabloid styles of too much of the media (or, counter-media) and presents the human side... of human beings.
Clever plotting; rare character subtleties; solid, often unexpected, humor; special insights; an unusual location with deft understanding of the urban university society.
Yes.
