Story
Vivian Brazier never thought life as an art photographer would include nightly wake-up calls to snap photos of grisly crime scenes or headshots for aspiring male actors. Although she is set on a career of transforming photography into a new art form, she knows her current work is what’s paying the bills. After shooting crime scene photos of a famous actress, the latest victim of the murderer the press has dubbed the “Dagger Killer,” Vivian notices eerie similarities to the crime scenes of previous victims details that put Vivian at the top of the killer’s target list.

Story
Jack Lancaster, consultant to the FBI, has always been drawn to the coldest of cold cases, the kind that law enforcement either considers unsolvable or else has chalked up to accidents or suicides. As a survivor of a fire, he finds himself uniquely compelled by arson cases. But the more cases Jack solves, the closer he slips into the darkness. His only solace is Winter Meadows, a meditation therapist. After particularly grisly cases, Winter can lead Jack back to peace. But as long as Quinton Zane is alive, Jack will not be at peace for long.

Relationships are challenging enough for most single over-30 women. For level-10 parasensitive Clare Lancaster, they're a minefield. The elite few who know her secret call her a human lie detector, and any falsehood, no matter how subtle or well hidden, sets her blood racing. Over the years, Clare has come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talents is unlikely to find a suitable mate. But a murder investigation with an unusual man may change that.

Another win for Amanda Quick fans!
I'm really liking this Burning Cove series, at least I hope it will be a series and not just two books. Set in the 30s in a small California town called Burning Cove, close enough to LA that its more upscale hotels and clubs attract the Hollywood heavy hitters. Both books have started with the story of a young woman who has to flee for her life and create herself anew to survive. This was the Golden Age of cinema, with the escapism of watching beautiful and wealthy people living exciting and romantic lives being an antidote to the grimness of real, Depression era life for the average American.
The Other Lady Vanishes (and you don't find out the meaning/significance of the title until very nearly the end of the book...and it's a good one) begins with a young woman whose husband had her committed to an insane asylum where she was forced to be a test subject for a halucinogenic drug being developed there, while her husband looted her considerable inheritance to save his own family's business. All very melodramatic and convoluted and so perfectly right that it would have been a smash as a film in that era.
I've been reading Jayne Ann Krentz, in all her guises, for many years. In fact, she was one of only two fairly atypical "romance" authors that I serendipitously discovered while shopping for romance books to send to a friend in England. The other was Jennifer Crusie. I loved both their books on first reading and was soon buying everything by either of them I could find. Fortunately, JAK has been prolific and reliable for all these years. If you're not sure about this new series, give it a try, keeping in mine the era and what made a good story then, and now. I'd love to see either of these books (The Girl Who Knew Too Much was the other) made into films. They each have several strong female characters and men who will love them and protect them, if ever they should need protection. They're pretty successful of surviving even very dangerous situations through quick thinking and the courage to keep going. Really, really great reads/listens. And, incidentally, this reader, Nina Alvamar, is very much better than the one for the first book.

to be honest the leading man was a bit dull, but the heroin made up for that. She was strong and resourceful. she was kind and most importantly not stupidity stubborn or whinny. the plot was a bit predictable towards the end but still told well. I liked this book and highly recommend it.

Okayish
An old fashioned style murder mystery, damsel in distress thing, with all the usual elements, but some unexpected spicy bits that seemed not to really belong here. Starts out good but begins to drag with too much talk, talk, talk to tie it all up. The narrator gets less annoying as she warms to the task. Okay if you want to fill in some lazy time but not really a ‘page turner’ at any stretch. This author hopefully improved with so many novels to her name.
