Patricia asked Megan Casey:

Hello Megan, Are the "The Lesbian Private Eye" and "The Art of the Lesbian Mystery Novel" the same?

Megan Casey Thank you for asking. They are not the same. "The Art of the Lesbian Mystery Novel (772 pages)" lists and discusses every mystery novel featuring a lesbian sleuth of any profession: cop, restaurant owner, journalist, forensic scientist, private eye, or whatever. "The Lesbian Private Eye (310 pages)" contains only information about lesbian sleuths that make their living--or part of their living--from being a private investigator.

In other words, "The Lesbian Private Eye" will contain very little information that is not in the larger volume but the larger volume will contain tons of info not in the smaller.

Because both of these books will be updated continually--at least in the ebook versions--I suggest you purchase either at Smashwords, where if you buy one version you automatically will be able to download future versions for free. Here is the link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/sear...
