Synopsis

Beauty and glamour meet deception and revenge in this electrifying novel by New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick.

Investigative apprentice Lyra Brazier, the newest resident of Burning Cove, is unsettled when her boss suddenly disappears. Lyra knows something has happened to Raina Kirk, and she tracks down Raina’s last known appearance at an exclusive hotel and health spa.
The health spa is known for its luxurious offerings and prestigious clientele, and the wealthy socialite background Lyra desperately wanted to leave behind is perfect for this undercover job. What Lyra lacks in investigative experience she makes up for in gut instinct,
and her gut isn’t happy that she’s saddled with a partner by Luther Pell, Raina’s dangerous lover, who wants to bring in someone with more experience to help.

Instead of the suave, pistol-packing private eye she expected, though, Simon Cage is a mild-mannered antiquarian book dealer with a quiet, academic air and a cool, remote gaze. Lyra suspects that Simon is much more than what he seems, and her instincts are
confirmed when they arrive at the spa and pose as a couple: Simon has a unique gift that allows him to detect secrets, a skill that is crucial in finding Raina.

The unlikely duo falls down a rabbit hole of twisted rumors and missing socialites, discovering that the health spa is a facade for something much darker than they imagined. With a murderer in their midst, Raina isn’t the only one in grave danger—Lyra is next.

Goodreads review by Jacob on January 12, 2022

This is part of a series where mostly only the setting is shared. We actually see a bunch of the leads from previous books (if I just missed that Jake and Adelaide from The Other Lady Vanishes make an appearance, then it would be all of them) in this one, though you don't really need any of their st......more
