Small town reporter Irene Glasson, working for the low-rate
scandal sheet Hollywood Whispers, chases a tantalizing
gossip story to Southern California, where she meets Oliver
Ward, a once-renowned magician who now owns the Burning
Cove Hotel. The town of Burning Cove appears to be a
charming, glamourous paradise, but there are dark and
dangerous undertones. When Irene discovers the body of a
beautiful actress at the bottom of the hotel pool, she's
intent on investigating the murder, no matter how much
Oliver protests. Then more murders occur. What's a curious g
girl reporter to do but investigate?
Irene is an intriguing woman with many secrets and Oliver,
who has plenty of secrets of his own, vows to be the man
who uncovers those secrets. He just has to keep Irene alive
long enough to do so, since there are several entities,
from the past and the present, working hard at silencing
Irene forever. Both Irene and Oliver have had to reinvent
new lives for themselves, but neither feels content with
their new incarnations. The fear of being located haunts
Irene every day. Could this murder investigation be the
catalyst that reveals her location and true identity? Not
if Oliver has anything to say about it and can prevent it.
It's a shaky precipice on which they both stand.
THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is another delightful romantic
mystery from expert storyteller Amanda Quick. Irene
and Oliver's romance is secondary to the murder mystery,
but Quick blends it all with her usual expertise. Though
THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH is a departure from the norm,
Quick works her magic yet again and brings to life a cast
of characters in a captivating locale and the glitzy era of
1930s Hollywood. I've found that one can never go wrong
deciding to read a historical romance by the incomparable
Amanda Quick, no matter where she sets the locale.
Amanda Quick, the bestselling author of ’Til Death Do
Us Part, transports readers to 1930s California, where
glamour and seduction spawn a multitude of sins…
When Hollywood moguls and stars want privacy, they head to
an idyllic small town on the coast, where the exclusive
Burning Cove Hotel caters to their every need. It’s where
reporter Irene Glasson finds herself staring down at a
beautiful actress at the bottom of a pool…
The dead woman had a red-hot secret about up-and-coming
leading man Nick Tremayne, a scoop that Irene couldn’t
resist—especially since she’s just a rookie at a third-rate
gossip rag. But now Irene’s investigation into the drowning
threatens to tear down the wall of illusion that is so
deftly built around the famous actor, and there are powerful
men willing to do anything to protect their investment.
Seeking the truth, Irene finds herself drawn to a master of
deception. Oliver Ward was once a world-famous
magician—until he was mysteriously injured during his last
performance. Now the owner of the Burning Cove Hotel, he
can’t let scandal threaten his livelihood, even if it means
trusting Irene, a woman who seems to have appeared in Los
Angeles out of nowhere four months ago…
With Oliver’s help, Irene soon learns that the glamorous
paradise of Burning Cove hides dark and dangerous secrets.
And that the past—always just out of sight—could drag them
both under…
