Synopsis (Goodreads):
After escaping from a private sanitarium, Adelaide Blake arrives in Burning Cove, California, desperate to start over.Thoughts on The Other Lady Vanishes: We're back in Burning Cove where it's remarkably easy for a person to hide in plain sight considering the town is awash in celebrities and high-profile Hollywood folks. But then, when everyone's looking at the glamorous actors and actresses, it's easy to blend into the background.
Working at an herbal tea shop puts her on the radar of those who frequent the seaside resort town: Hollywood movers and shakers always in need of hangover cures and tonics. One such customer is Jake Truett, a recently widowed businessman in town for a therapeutic rest. But unbeknownst to Adelaide, his exhaustion is just a cover.
In Burning Cove, no one is who they seem. Behind facades of glamour and power hide drug dealers, gangsters, and grifters. Into this make-believe world comes psychic to the stars Madame Zolanda. Adelaide and Jake know better than to fall for her kind of con. But when the medium becomes a victim of her own dire prediction and is killed, they'll be drawn into a murky world of duplicity and misdirection.
Neither Adelaide or Jake can predict that in the shadowy underground they'll find connections to the woman Adelaide used to be--and uncover the specter of a killer who's been real all along...
Adelaide is one of the ones hiding in plain sight and she's done a pretty good job keeping under the radar. Or so she thinks. After breaking out of a sanitarium where she was involuntarily committed, she's slowly finding her footing. And while she might like the look on one Jake Truett, she has too many secrets to explore anything with him.
Except that's not exactly right. Jake has his own secrets and soon the two are investigating Madame Zolanda's death while trying to keep things on the down low. As you might guess, THINGS HAPPEN. Sexy things. Which I am 100% here for.
A little danger, a fair amount of betrayal, a shadowed conspiracy, a steamy encounter, and a couple who are determined to face their pasts so they can make a future together. *thumbs up*
