The Other Lady Vanishes by Amanda Quick

Suspense and entertainment also vanish. I sense a long book slump coming on…

Amanda Quick does 1930s Hollywood mystery now, but nothing much has changed aside from the backdrop.

Let’s revisit one of the author’s older books. Here’s one of her more underrated ones, as far as I’m concerned.

While this is quite a painless read, it’s also a pointless one. So pointless, in fact, that it’s like a perfect ball of blah.

This one starts out strong, but fizzles out halfway. The hero and the heroine are pretty good together, though!

The author goes back to “0% woo-woo” historical romance mode, but the romance is barely there.

This is probably as close as it gets to old-fashioned good time Amanda Quick. The romance still lacks that special something, though.

Well, it’s another Amanda Quick book except the murder mystery thingy is, for once, not boring. What the heck. PARTY CITY!

Don’t believe the marketing. No kick-ass prostitutes here, alas.

The romance is somewhat stronger than usual, but it’s up to you whether it’s worth the money.
