ReviewsPraise for 'Til Death Do Us Part "A model storyteller of mystery and suspense mixed with an entrancing romance, Amanda Quick...once again holds the reader in rapt attention with Til Death Do Us Part ...an intriguing read that keeps audiences entrenched in the lives of the characters."--examiner.com "Best-selling Quick knows what her readers want, and she delivers it in spades with her latest mesmerizing historical romance. The perfectly realized Victorian setting adds just the right dash of gothic flavor to the story, and the smartly paced plot is filled with enough goose-bump-inducing chills and sexy, romantic thrills to have readers sighing happily with satisfaction. The icing on this irresistible literary confection is Quick's distinctive sense of wit, which remains just as delicious as ever."-- Booklist (starred review) "Romantic suspense luminary Quick moves into edgy thriller territory with intelligence and aplomb and uses the backdrop of gaslight-tinted, death-obsessed Victorian London to perfection. The plot is smart and tight and the characters complex, while the subtle wink of humor toward a successful mystery author's plight and romance subplots will make fans smile. Quick's appealing new direction somehow balances Gothic intensity and lighthearted wit."-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Quick's ambitious Victorian historical mixes witty, occasionally self-referential banter with gothic undertones and a solid thriller plot...Along with the danger, Quick throws in a great deal of humor, a large cast of well-rounded characters, and lots of solid red herrings. This is a true delight for fans of historical romances and mysteries."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The whole plot was so well thought out and frankly amazing...Amanda Quick is still--after all these years--a magnificent writer."--Quite the Novel Idea, Praise for The Girl Who Knew Too Much "There are fierce forces at play in every page of The Girl Who Knew Too Much , and you won't be able to put down this captivating mystery until the last page is fervently turned. What's not to love about a scandalous historical tale set in the glamorous years of 1930s Hollywood?"--Redbook "All of the key ingredients--wit-infused writing, sharply etched characters, and plenty of simmering sexual chemistry--that readers have come to expect from Quick snap into perfect alignment in this stellar novel. Put that together with a plot that neatly marries high-stakes suspense and a glamorous, old Hollywood setting, and you have a blockbuster that will not only delight historical-romance readers but also entice historical-mystery fans to join in on the fun."-- Booklist , starred review "This swiftly moving romance brims with surprising plot twists, delicious sensuality, and a delightfully classy 1930s California setting. An adventurous romp that will have readers hungry for more."-- Library Journal , starred review "Quick's ambitious novel, set during the golden age of Hollywood, sparkles with wit and clever plotting."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Quick is often named as one of the inventors of the romantic mystery, and she writes the genre effortlessly--the love story and the mystery are beautifully intertwined here..."-- The Washington Post

SynopsisTHE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Amanda Quick, the bestselling author of The Other Lady Vanishes , transports readers to 1930s California, where glamour and seduction spawn a multitude of sins... At the exclusive Burning Cove Hotel on the coast of California, rookie reporter Irene Glasson finds herself staring down at a beautiful actress at the bottom of a pool... The dead woman had something Irene wanted: a red-hot secret about an up-and-coming leading man--a scoop that may have gotten her killed. As Irene searches for the truth about the drowning, she's drawn to a master of deception. Once a world-famous magician whose career was mysteriously cut short, Oliver Ward is 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...

I haveread all of Amanda Quick. I think Krentz is getting tired. Not funny, not compelling, not interesting. Don't ask if you don't want to know.
