Madison_Fairbanks | May 9, 2023 |   4 Stars Series note: While this book focuses on a new couple and plot, characters from book 1 do make an appearance and even play pivotal roles. After witnessing a murder during her escape from a sanitarium, Adelaide Blake seeks refuge in Burning Cove and makes a new life for herself. But Adelaide's safe haven is disrupted when Madame Zolanda, the Hollywood psychic, is found dead. Adelaide joins forces with the enigmatic Jake Truatt to uncover the truth while her past catches up with her. Adelaide and Jake are a typical Quick couple who initially get off on the wrong foot, but soon find themselves working together to solve a mystery. They are both likable and have solid if not compeltely sizzling chemistry. The suspense plot has some intense moments and a satisfying resolution. That said, there are several rather convoluted threads and it is not always easy to keep track of culprits and motives. Overall, an entertaining sequel and I look forward to reading the next one. (  ) Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 | THE OTHER LADY VANISHES is the second book in the Burning Cove series, but there are no problems reading this one without having read the first book. Sure, there are people from the first book that shows up in this story as well, but the main story, about Adelaide Blake, is definitely a standalone one. READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW OVER AT FRESH FICTION! ( ) MaraBlaise | Jul 23, 2022 | ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 | It's an interesting read, gallops along nicely, sometimes the relationships are a bit sketchy but I enjoyed the read. Adelaide is an interesting character and her librarian past is used well. Her knowledge of herbs is also well done and she's resourceful but also knows her limits. Jake is a bit of a sketch but they make a good couple, using each others strengths to help where they're weak. It does come together a little easily but overall I enjoyed the read.

"After escaping from a private sanitarium, Adelaide Blake arrives in Burning Cove, California, desperate to start over. Working at an herbal tea shop puts her on the radar of those who frequent the seaside resort town: Hollywood movers and shakers always in need of hangover cures and tonics. One such customer is Jake Truett, a recently widowed businessman in town for a therapeutic rest. But unbeknownst to Adelaide, his exhaustion is just a cover. In Burning Cove, no one is who they seem. Behind facades of glamour and power hide drug dealers, gangsters, and grifters. Into this make-believe world comes psychic to the stars Madame Zolanda. Adelaide and Jake know better than to fall for her kind of con. But when the medium becomes a victim of her own dire prediction and is killed, they'll be drawn into a murky world of duplicity and misdirection. Neither Adelaide nor Jake can predict that in the shadowy underground they'll find connections to the woman Adelaide used to be--and uncover the specter of a killer who's been real all along.."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Burning Cove series #2. Historical romantic mystery. 1930’s. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Adelaide escaped from a private sanitarium where she was being held as a prisoner by her supposed husband. The doctors used an experimental drug on her as a test subject. Adelaide travels to Burning Cove to hide where she works in a tea shop. She meets Jake Truett, who says he’s in town to rest, but that’s not all he’s there for. When psychic Madame Zolanda is killed, Adelaide and Jake are pulled into an underground world of shadows and danger.
Intriguing with deception and twists to lead the reader in several directions as the story unfolds.
I enjoyed the mystery as I realized that it was connected to the first book and understood a bit more. This story did conclude but there are still some questions. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. (
