Joanna Kasimir, an old friend of Jane Lawless’s, left town years ago to make it big in Hollywood. She succeeded, but stardom had a price. Early on, Joanna met a man who quickly went from being a dalliance to a stalker. A decade has passed since she sent him to prison, but just as she has returned to Minneapolis to perform at Jane’s friend Cordelia Thorn’s theater, Joanna receives one of his ominous calling cards.
Joanna refuses to let fear control her life---she can’t. Not again. So she goes to Jane, restauranteur and amateur sleuth, for help. But can Jane protect her from a man who refuses to be anyone’s one-night stand?
A deadly game of cat and mouse, Night Vision proves to be one of Ellen Hart’s best mysteries yet.

Rating: - Night Vision - a good mystery for the subway
I'm a commuter and I spend almost two hours on the subway every day. A Jane Lawless Mystery like "Night Vision" is the perfect companion on my way to work and back home. It is exciting enough to make the journey enjoyable, but not so exciting that I forget to get off the train when I have to.
If you are looking for a real page-turner, you should read something else. The plot of "Night Vision" is fairly predictable. Joanna Kasimir, a Hollywood celebrity, is faced with a violent stalker ... Read More
Rating: - Visiting Old Friends
Let me preface this short review by saying that I own all of Ellen Hart's books. I have a great fondness for Jane Lawless and friends and Sophie Greenway and friends. When I read one of Ellen's books, it's like a return to my hometown where I get to catch up with some of my favorite people.
"Night Vision" demonstrates that Ellen's story-telling is only getting better with each book. There is an element of tension in this tale that makes it hard to put down. There are three or four story ... Read More

Rating: - Hart Keeps Getting Better
It took me a while to discover Ellen Hart's award winning Jane Lawless mystery series. The Iron Girl had just released and I grabbed it up because of the great reviews it had garnered. While it was the 13th in the series, it was the first that I read, and I was hooked. I devoured every one in the series after that over a four month period. Then I anxiously anticipated Night Vision, the next in the series, and the wait was well worth it. This tightly written page turner was so enjoyable that it can be reread ... Read More
Rating: - Night Vision: a penetrating look
This continuing line of interesting and thoughtful mystery novels is extended yet again by this author. Author Hart has been writing a long time and she knows the game well. Unlike many genre authors, she shows no evidence here of tiring of either the mystery culture or her principal characters, Jane Lawless and Cordelia Thorn.
The relationship between these two women, long time friends, is unusual in that they are quite different. Lawless is bright, quiet, introspective, protective of her personal ... Read More
