Isabella Valdez has been found by the men who are pursuing
her. Isabella is the granddaughter of a conspiracy
theorist. She was always told that if trouble came, she was
to seek the help of the Jones & Jones agency. After she
eludes her pursuers, she heads to Scargill Cove where she
finds a life like nothing she has ever known. She goes from
being a waitress in a cafe to a job as Fallon Jones'
assistant without him knowing how it happened.
Fallon Jones is the head of the Jones & Jones Detective
Agency. He is deep into solving the problems of Nightshade.
He is viewed as a conspiracy nut who is approaching
insanity by leaders of the Arcane Society. Isabella amuses
him, enchants him and involves him in investigations he has
no business being involved in.
Fans of Ms. Krentz won't be disappointed by this first book
of the Looking Glass Trilogy. Filled with her well-known
dry humor and the complications of a business dealing with
various types of talent, this book was such a joy to read
that I read it again two weeks later. I loved the
interactions between Isabella and Fallon and the
complications of her discovery of a collection of artifacts
that have baffled investigators for years. The addition
of some very quirky characters in Scargill Cove and
Isabella's grandmother completed my enjoyment.
Jayne Ann Krentz follows up her highly successful Dreamlight
Trilogy written in collaboration with her two alter egos,
Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle with a brand-new story arc
that begins in a secluded coastal town in northern California.
Scargill Cove is the perfect place for Fallon Jones,
confirmed recluse and investigator of the paranormal. It’s a
hot spot, a convergence point for unusually strong currents
of energy, which might explain why the town attracts misfits
and drifters like moths to a flame. Now someone else has
been drawn to the Cove Isabella Valdez, on the run from some
very dangerous men.
When she starts working as Fallon’s assistant, Isabella
impresses him by organizing his pathologically chaotic
office and doesn’t bat an eye at the psychic element of his
job. She’s a kindred spirit, a sanctuary from a world that
considers his talents a form of madness. But after a routine
case unearths an antique clock infused with dark energy,
Fallon and Isabella are dragged into the secret history of
Scargill Cove and forced to fight for their lives, as they
unravel a cutthroat conspiracy with roots in the Jones
family business…and Isabella’s family tree.
