When She Dreams

Burning Cove, California, Book 6

De: Amanda Quick

Narrado por: Morgan Hallett

Return to 1930s Burning Cove, California, the glamorous seaside playground for Hollywood stars, mobsters, spies, and a host of others who find more than they bargained for in this mysterious town.

Maggie Lodge, assistant to the reclusive advice columnist known only as Dear Aunt Cornelia to her readers, hires down-but-not-quite-out private eye Sam Sage to help track down the person who is blackmailing her employer. Maggie and Sam are a mismatched pair. As far as Sam is concerned, Maggie is reckless and in over her head. She is not what he had in mind for a client, but he can’t afford to be choosy. Maggie, on the other hand, is convinced that Sam is badly in need of guidance and good advice. She does not hesitate to give him both.

In spite of the verbal fireworks between them, they are fiercely attracted to each other, but both are sure it would be a mistake to let passion take over. They are, after all, keeping secrets. Sam is haunted by his past, which includes a marriage shattered by betrayal and violence. Maggie is troubled by intense and vivid dreams—dreams that she can sometimes control. There are those who want to run experiments on her and use her for their own purposes, while others think she should be committed to an asylum.

When the pair discovers someone is impersonating Aunt Cornelia at a conference on psychic dreaming and a woman dies at the conference, the door is opened to a dangerous web of blackmail and murder. Secrets from the past are revealed, leaving
Maggie and Sam in the path of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to exact vengeance.

Entertaining Mystery

I enjoy all Amanda Quick’s books. Enjoyed this immensely. I enthusiastically wait foe all her books.

I love this series.

This Amanda Quick series is another series that I enjoy ONLY in audio.
This author makes the characters and stories very real.
The fact that some of the characters from the other stories in the series appear makes the stories flow seamlessly.
Loved this story.

In the Burning Cove series. Very good!

Another excellent book in an excellent series, set in the 1930s. That's an era we nowadays find very distant. Not at all is this book focused on public opinion nor politics, but think of the effusive optimism of the twenties, high on the belief that the Allies had fought and won the Great War, the war ending all wars forever! Then the 1929 stock market crash, then straight into a worldwide Depression. People still were rich, or poor, but a lot of people who had thought their lives would forever be sunny and prosperous had fallen with a painful shocking thump from wealth to poverty. Big negative changes are hard to take!

Thoroughly delightful

I really enjoyed listening to this story. MS Krentz has once again proved her ability to craft to create stories to transport her readers to another world. I look forward to the next one. 😀
