I was right, I do like the Sophie Greenway mysteries better than the Jane Lawless mysteries. I like Sophie better than Jane, which is too darn bad. Jane is so darn wishy washy compared to Sophie.
No Reservations Required is a culinary mystery in more than just name only and that’s what I like about Ellen Hart – her mysteries are never just one mystery, there’s always a secondary mystery to solve along with the main crime. They’re rarely complicated but they’re always interesting and amusing. And for you gay folk who would stick with Jane just for some GLBT principles, Sophie’s son is gay and many of the characters are gay and Jane’s father occasionally makes an appearance as a lawyer for some troubled soul. So don’t feel bad if you switch allegiance to Sophie.
