Dissappointed

First I will say that I am an Amanda Quick fan and these are the only books that I buy in hardback. This is a good story but I feel that she did a horrible job with her non-existant descriptions of the characters and the scene. It made the story difficult to read and hard to really get into. If she had been more descriptive I would have given it 5 stars.

Another great read!

Amanada Quick (JAK) has created another excellent tale of romance and suspense. The characters are interesting (as always) and the storyline is well written. It is formulatic in many ways (as so many of Krentz's books are) but I don't think that detracts from enjoyment of the book.

I highly recommend this book for those who love the earlier books by Quick, you won't be disappointed!

The River Knows a Good Story

This was an excellent Amanda Quick novel. Full of Intrigue and suspense. The novel with Louisa out to expose Hastings and of course Anthony to find out who killed his fiancee Fiona. There's chemistry between these two. But also deep secrets also. I won't say anymore but to say read this book. You won't regret it.

When she is forced to murder a London gentleman who sneaks into her home, Joanna Barclay decides to fake her own suicide and reinvent herself as Louisa Bryce, the distant relative of an old Society matron. With the past behind her, it would be easy for Louisa to accept her new role in life and forget about the past. Still, she finds herself drawn to the scandal and intrigue that forced her from her old life and takes on a role as a correspondent for one of London's sensation papers The Flying Intelligencer. When her journalistic investigations involve her in the case of Elwin Hastings, a gentleman who has secret connections to a notorious brothel, Louisa joins forces with someone else who is investigating Hastings, Mr. Anthongy Stalbridge. When Louisa and Anthony get together, their mutual attraction begins to distract them from their investigations. Soon they are involved in an illicit romance while carrying on secret investigations into Hastings' affairs.

The River knows was fine, but not great. It's the kind of book that is utterly forgettable. I doubt I'll remember much of this one in about a week and, instead, it will probably blend in with all the other Amanda Quick novels I've read in the past. Which is a shame. I really like Amanda Quick. Her books are funny, romantic, and mysterious. I usually like her heroines and storylines, but this one was filled with lackluster characters and a plot that was reminsicent of so many others that came before it. There was nothing new or exciting here, and I'm starting to think I might just have to wait for her books to come to paperback from now on. I've been disappointed the last few times I've gone for the hardback (most notably Second Sight, which was a waste of my time and hers). Anyway, if you're a Quick fan, I guess this book is worth reading. It's got all the things I've come to know and love about Quick's writing, but there's nothing new to distinguish it from the rest of the pack.
