The Other Lady Vanishes

De: Amanda Quick

Narrado por: Nina Alvamar

The New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Who Knew Too Much sweeps readers back to 1930s California where even the brightest razzle dazzle can't always hide the darkest secrets.

Author Amanda Quick returns to the exclusive seaside community of Burning Cove, where more than one person with a dark past has gone to reinvent themselves. But some secrets are just too deadly to stay hidden, and some pasts can never stay buried.

So worth the all night reading hangover

Don't start this book in the afternoon or evening as that might adversely affect your ability to go to bed/sleep that night.

Book 2 in the Burning Cove series has us once again in the 1930's. Once again we have a mysterious lady new to town becoming involved in the investigation of a sensational murder/accidental death. It was truly wonderful returning to the world of Burning Cove although this time we were introduced to a mostly new set of characters. I personally doubt that AQ can write a bad story. The biggest surprise to me with the number of books she has written is how she keeps creating such new plots.

Sigh

Just ok if you like Quick historical romantic mysteries. The location is Burning Cove on the California coast, a retreat for the rich and famous. The timeline is the period between 1929-1939, after the stock market crash but before WWII.
Adelaide escapes from Rushbrook Sanitarium where she was committed against her will by a fake husband who needed access to her inheritance.
She goes to ground in Burning Cove where she becomes the focus of several members of a group of designer drug dealers, and a blackmailer.
Alvamar has a somewhat pleasant voice, but had no range in voicing different characters, especially male.
Overall I’d rate as 3.5 stars with the round up to 4 for good editing.

Decent

I enjoyed the characters and the story. Got drawn out at the end. if they said Import Export Business one more time I was going to scream.

JAK as Amanda Quick is back!!

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.

Another wonderful addition to my library!!!

I really enjoyed this book, especially the new era Ms. Quick has set this story in. As usual, the wait for this book did not disappoint!!! Great writing and loved the plot twists. 1
