Book Description:
Adam Hardesty has a serious problem. The secrets of his past are in danger of being exposed, and in the course of investigating his would-be blackmailer, he discovers the dead body of a prominent psychic. To make matters worse, her house has been torn apart, and the diary containing Adam's secrets is missing. His only lead is a list of the psychic's last visitors - the people who came to her house for a sitting on the night of her death. The most likely suspect is a woman named Mrs. Caroline Fordyce, whom he confronts in her parlour, only to discover an inconvenient attraction to the beautiful young widow. Alarmed by Adam's insinuations and questions, Caroline concludes that she must conduct her own investigation into this strange matter. If she can discover the true killer, Adam will have no reason to expose her connection to the dead psychic, which would cause a scandal she and her aunts could ill-afford. Besides, her life has been boringly uncomplicated for too long, and the exciting tension she feels around Adam presents a welcome alternative to her mundane daily routine.

Strong, sassy women...unconventional and flawed...
powerful, determined men... can't help but fall for the women

the usual (and much loved) theme of Amanda Quick's books! One of my favorite authors since the 80's...I have everyone of her books and wait eagerly for her new releases!

Mrs. Caroline Fordyce has a secret to keep. She lives with her two aunts and makes her living writing thrilling serial novels for one of the London newspapers. Unfortunately, while doing research into for her next novel about spiritualists which are all the rage in Victorian London, the medium with whom she has consulted is murdered ... and the man looking into the murder thinks that Mrs. Fordyce is a suspect. While she knows that she didn't kill the medium, she is afraid that her secret will come out during the investigation, so she decides to do some investigating of her own. This was a good beach read!

Another great romance book by Quick. This one is set in Victorian England - good suspense in this romance.

A slow starter, different from her other books I've read. There wasn't the usual tension and electricity between the hero and heroine, although the book did get more interesting as read past the first few chapters. l did enjoy the subject material, on psychic experiences.

From the acclaimed author of "The Paid Companion", a thrilling new novel of the darkness and desires hidden beneath the orderly surface of Victorian England...

Thrown together in searching for a murderer Carolyn Fordyce and Adam Hardesty find themselves drawn to each other. Carolyn fashions the villian in her novel after Adam only to decide perhaps he is not the villian she had intended him to be.

An interesting piece of fluff.

Very easy romantic mystery, although a bit light on both fronts.
