What a fun read!

I've had a book going for 20 years and never once did I read an Amanda Quick story, or any other books under her different names. I picked this one up last week, deciding to give her a try-and couldn't put it down once I started it. It grabbed me right from the beginning with a good plot, good characters, good suspense and great writing. I loved Anthony right from the beginning and Louisa was extremely likeable. Both investigating the same man, for entirely different reasons, they team up and work together in what is a story that flows right along, has great dialogue and I love the wit AQ gives her characters. He's a handsome, rich eccentric and she's a dowdy widow, and together they search for answers and eventually begin an illicit affair. The entire book was completely enjoyable and now I'll have to get more. Great read!

Its Good But Not Great..

I am always excited when a new Amanda Quick OR Jayne Ann Krentz novel comes out and I buy them straight away. And USUALLY I find that my money is well spent. This time however I feel a little ripped off! The River Knows started out so well. Our Heroine Louisa Bryce is a sensation writer who is set on uncovering the truth about Lord Hastings. But this is not the only thing she trys to keep secret. Louisa is also wanted for murder. Our hero of the piece is Anthony Stalbridge a man set on finding justice for his fiance who commited suicide.. Or did she? I found this book fabulous with lots of shocking surprises.. that is until the final chapters. Quick ends the book quite suddenly by [SPOILER ALERT!] having her hero calmly admit that he has no problem with Lousia actually being the notorious Miss Barclay. And he has no problem with her being a murderer! Instead he informs her that they will be married! I was eagerly waiting for the betrayal shock and guilt to arise from this final confrontation however the book ended on a rather hollow and dull note. Definately not one of Quick or Krentz best novels but still quite enjoyable. I suggest getting it from the library that way you wont feel ripped off like myself.

Better than other recent ones, but not classic Quick

I'm on the fence about this book. On one hand, I can't say I'm overly fond of the main male lead. The heroine is interesting and likeable, and I almost wish she'd end up with someone better (though the hero's family is quite interesting). The storyline has a good mix of mystery and action, if a little overly melodramatic. For those who like a bit more intrigue in their romance novels, this is a decent novel. Not the best by this author by a long shot, but not bad, either.

And even though the author does a bit too much leading (as opposed to letting readers guess themselves or be utterly surprised) it's still a tidy, interesting plot. Pity about the hero, but still a solid novel. And if you like this one, I'd definitely read others by her (discounting the recent Arcane society ones).

Great Read

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. I enjoyed it so much I started and finished it in one day! I've been a fan of Amanda Quick for a while now. As someone else mentioned, this one does not involve any odd Societies or scientists, which made for a nice change.

I highly reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great Regency novel.

As lawys, great!

By whatever name she goes, Amanda Quick is always great. This is a great series and worth reading.
