Welcome to Burning Cove, California where 1930s Hollywood glamour conceals a ruthless killer... Vivian Brazier never thought life as an art photographer would include nightly wake-up calls to snap photos of grisly crime scenes or headshots for aspiring male actors. Although she is set on a career of transforming photography into a new art form, she knows her current work is what's paying the bills. After shooting crime scene photos of a famous actress, the latest victim of the murderer the press has dubbed the "Dagger Killer," Vivian notices eerie similarities to the crime scenes of previous victims--details that only another photographer would have noticed--details that put Vivian at the top of the killer's target list. Nick Sundridge has always been able to "see" things that others don't, coping with disturbing dreams and visions. His talent, or as he puts it--his curse--along with his dark past makes him a recluse, but a brilliant investigator. As the only one with the ability to help, Nick is sent to protect Vivian. Together, they discover the Dagger Killer has ties to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood royalty and high society. It is a cutthroat world of allure and deception that Vivian and Nick must traverse--all in order to uncover the killer who will stop at nothing to add them to their gallery of murders.

I love the setting of this book series. Old Hollywood resort town makes these books a mix of noir and romance. The characters are self proclaimed modern women and I love how they are making their own way in the world, only to be thrown into the middle of a mystery.

Vivian is a photographer and takes crime scene photos to pay for her more artistic work. She‘s put in danger when a hit is taken out on her. Nick is a PI put into service as bodyguard

Good for me: mystery and a female photographer. Bad: “historical fiction“ (a classification that's overused/frequently misused, IMHO) and cheesy romance. If I had taken the Goodreads genre list seriously, I wouldn't have even read this.

A fast paced mystery set in the 1930s in Hollywood. A woman photographer helps solve a murder and then gets mixed up in others.

This series completely lacks the heat and humor of her other books and this was the dullest of the lot.

CocoReads I enjoyed the first one but have never bothered to pick up the others. Guess I‘ll keep not bothering 4y
Nebklvr @CocoReads Her Victorian series is so much better 4y

A perfect addition to the Burning Cove series! Featuring suspense and romance, and set in the glamor era of 1930s California, this is a great distraction reading. I enjoy Quick's (aka Jayne Ann Krentz's) writing style - it flows well, and the narrative completely draws you into the story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley for providing me with an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review.
