Publisher's summary

A psychic desperate to escape her destiny—and a killer—finds her future in the coastal town of Burning Cove in New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick's latest novel.

Being Madame Ariadne, Psychic Dream Consultant, wasn't Prudence Ryland's ideal gig, but it paid well which was reason enough to do the work—until she realizes that her latest client intends to kill her. But Prudence, a master at reinvention, finds a new job and home as far away as possible and is finally able to relax—which turns out to be a big mistake. Letting her guard down means being kidnapped and drugged and waking up in a bloodstained wedding dress in the honeymoon suite next to a dead man. With the press outside the hotel, waiting with their cameras and police sirens in the distance, it's obvious she's being framed for the man's murder. Prudence knows who is responsible, but will anyone believe her?

It doesn't seem likely that rumored crime boss Luther Pell or his associate, Jack Wingate, believe her seemingly outrageous claims of being a target of a ruthless vendetta. In fact, Prudence is convinced that the mysterious Mr. Wingate believes her to be a fraud at best, and at worst: a murderer. And Jack Wingate does seem to be someone intimately familiar with violence, if going by his scarred face and grim expression. So no one is more shocked than Prudence when Jack says he'll help her. Of course, his ideas for helping her involve using her as the bait for a killer, but Prudence feels oddly safe with Jack protecting her. But who will protect Prudence from her growing fascination with this enigma of a man?

The suspense in tryinh to figure out the villan

I love the way the author does the romantic build out and discovery within the couples.

Entertaining

I love the series, and this story doesn't disappoint. Narrator's performance entertaining, with a voice that enhances the listening pleasure.

Enjoyef

I enjoyed this but in my opinion this was not quite as good as the rest of the series. The beginning was smashing and grabs you right away and there are some other excellent scenes; however, there is a lot of dialogue explaining relationships between the characters rather than action. This was still very entertaining, unlike some others, I like the reader as I think her voice and style suit the period.

I love Burning Cove books

As with other books, More sets the stage and delivers. You get to know characters (like them or not) as well as a story line that usually is easy to follow.

great read

really like the series, miss the arcane series and how you've managed to put them into the present series. love your books under your 3 main names.

Great story; not so great narration

The story was the only reason I got through this audiobook. The narrator was nasally and the voices for each character made it a difficult listen.
It was a very good suspense book. Easy to understand the plot and motives. The character building was well done. Would have liked to see a bit more closure regarding the talent or Jack and his learning to accept and deal with it. Also would have loved it if Pru could have helped Jack more using her own abilities thereby giving Jack a non-scientific explanation into his own talent. But overall good story.

Entertaining listening on a rainy day

A few twists and turns that kept my attention throughout the book. Lovely ending at the to be shop.

Another fun 1930s story!

This was another fun paranormal mystery set in the late 1930s. The story was fun, and the reader was great.

I loved this book!

It kept me second guessing about who the killer was and I truly enjoyed the elaborate planning behind the whole devious revenge plot! I love how it kept my mind engaged until the very end.

Story

I love Amanda Quick books, great story!I have listened to this several times. Glad it’s in my library
