This spring, New York Times bestselling romantic thriller writer Jayne Ann Krentz, writing as Amanda Quick, delivers the next captivating Burning Cove novel, THE BRIDE WORE WHITE (Berkley Hardcover; on sale May 2, 2023).
In this next twisty mystery from Quick, Psychic Dream Consultant Prudence Ryland is on the hunt for a new profession after a near fatal experience during a dream consult results in her client being hospitalized and lands her psychic persona ‘Madame Ariadne’ on the front page of the local papers. Her search leads her to Burning Cove, where she begins a new career as a research librarian. A safe enough profession, until Prudence is drugged and kidnapped between the library stacks, only to awake wearing a bloodstained wedding gown in a hotel room next to a dead man. A dead man with whom Prudence is very much acquainted.
Refusing to be framed for the murder, Prudence enlists the investigative services of rumored crime boss Luther Pell, who assigns the case to his surly associate Jack Wingate. Jack is unsure whether Prudence is the victim of a ruthless vendetta or a murderess in disguise, but he knows one thing for certain: Prudence—or Madame Ariadne—is a fraud posing as a psychic.
Still, there’s nothing Burning Cove loves more than a con artist, so Jack develops the perfect ruse to bring the killer to the light, using the notoriety of Madame Ariadne as bait. Despite the newfound dangers coming her way, Prudence can’t help but feel safe with Jack at her side, and psychic or not, Jack will do anything to keep Prudence out of harm’s way. With all of Burning Cove’s eyes now on the infamous dream psychic, the killer will have no choice but to walk straight into the spotlight to exact their revenge.
With a perfect blend of quick-witted humor and pulse-quickening suspense, Krentz delivers another exciting mystery filled with romantic tension in this latest Burning Cove novel, perfect for fans of historical fiction and readers of Fiona Davis and Jacqueline Winspear.
