The Girl Who Knew Too Much

By: Amanda Quick

Narrated by: Louise Jane Underwood

The New York Times best-selling author of 'Til Death Do Us Part transports listeners 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 a red-hot secret about an up-and-coming leading man, a scoop that Irene couldn't resist. Seeking the truth about the drowning, Irene finds herself 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 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.

Good story; annoying audio

Like most Jayne Ann Krentz novels this is a fun story with lots of twists and turns. But the delivery was annoying. The problem was not the narrator, but the production. All throughout the performance the audio would stop, requiring physical intervention to begin listening again. If this were a CD instead of a download I would assume a faulty disc but since it's not I can only conclude it's Audible fault.

Love this book!

I'm not as thrilled about the narrator, but at least she doesn't sound computer-generated. Jayne Ann Krentz strikes again. Great characters, great story!

Unexpected

This story was nothing like what I imagined it would be. I was delightfully surprised by the storyline and the characters. However, the narrator was a bit annoying with her choices for some of the character's voices. This was not the Amanda Quick story I have become used to, but I enjoyed exploring another genre under her pen. Looking forward to reading more about Irene and Oliver, a very interesting couple.

The Girl Who Knew Too Much

I was thrilled to find a new Amanda Quick mystery. I had read several Victorian era British novels which included pre-Scotland Yard detectives and their families.
It was fun finding this story in the early Hollywood era thriller. I will read this one again.

Great Vocal Talent, good story

I enjoyed the way the characters were read with a hint of old timey accents. the story was OK. not one of my favorite Amanda Quick stories but I'm interested to see where this series goes.
