About this listen

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.

I really enjoyed the story at the start, but it became overly long and repetitive. The graphic sex scenes felt at odds with the style of the book. Constant repetition of 'erbal and 'the most beauuutiful woman in Hollywood' felt almost comedic by the end.

Started well enough

This is the second book set in this era and place by the author, and I enjoyed it.
A woman escapes an asylum and it soon becomes clear there is a tale here of mystery and intrigue, Hollywood stars and shady secretive characters: a psychic and her assistant, a business man with a case of weak nerves, a doctor with a diet tonic, a lady detective, a nightclub owner... the 1930's are brought to elegant life.
An easy and light read, but with enough depth of character to engage with the people, to want to know who the baddies are and what will happen next.
There is the expected HEA and there is nothing in this book that could be said to be unexpected or terribly original but this is still a good read and an enjoyable piece of escapism.

A good light read.

Not as good as the first book. Bit predictable and unnecessary sex dialogue spoilt it for me.

Disappointed

This narrator had a better voice for the series. The first book was narrated by a very shrill British accent and terrible American accents, but was a brilliant adventure. By comparison, this story was weak, repetitive, with unengaging characters, and awfully predictable. Stopped listening about chapter 20.

Better narrator but weaker story

I’m glad this was free, because if I’d paid for it, it would have hurt a little. The opening sequence was promising enough, mystery patient escaping from an asylum and seeing a man fall to his death - but it goes down hill so very rapidly, it’s like you’ve been pushed out of a rear window. This book reads like someone watched a lot of 1930’s b movies and bought the world they depicted hook, line and sinker, but then thought if they threw in some swears and some truly excruciating sex scenes, which made me long for the Hayes commission to step in, it would appear modern. What we actually get, is a string of characters who are so predictable and two dimensional, I laughed out loud on numerous occasions - and I swear if I have to read one more book where the female character is an expert at blending ‘erbs - please give the word back it’s ‘h’ - I will need reviving miracle tea myself. I tried to finish it, really I did, but when the mobster side character and the female PI side character began woodenly answering the ‘will they, won’t they too,’ side plot question, I gave up. Maybe there was a twist in the last forty minutes which stretched tediously ahead, like a languorous Californian costal highway, being traversed by a sportster driven by a man with dark, brooding eyes and suppressed masculine grace, but I didn’t care. Give it a go if you like, but it will be ten hours you won’t get back again.

If you’re the author, don’t read this
