THE OTHER LADY VANISHES is the second book in the Burning Cove series, but there are no problems reading this one without having read the first book. Sure, there are people from the first book that shows up in this story as well, but the main story, about Adelaide Blake, is definitely a standalone one.

Adelaide Blake shows up in Burning Cove, California and gets a job in a herbal tea shop. Like many other people in the town, Adelaide has secrets. Two months before she escaped from a private sanitarium. She is now trying to lie low and hopes that the men that are responsible for her stay at the sanitarium won't find her. However, she soon realizes that her past may have caught up with her...

THE OTHER LADY VANISHES is a fabulous story about a woman on the run from her past. I found the book to be perfect for the mood I was in. I wanted something easy-going to read, but not too simple. I wanted to read about interesting and strong women and I definitely got it with this book. Amanda Quick has a knack for creating women that are strong and multilayered. The story may be a bit predictable, but it didn't bother me that much. Reading an Amanda Quick book is such an enjoyable thing and Adelaide is such a fabulous character. Of course, there is romance in the book and if that's your thing, then you will love this book. I wish I could write about some of my favorite moments in the book, but that would give away too much of the story. But, I will end this review by saying that the ending is marvelous. I loved it!
