walkitoutIt is always lovely to get a new book from JAK.
This is another Burning Cove. So much fun having everyone run around on the edges of the Hollywood scene during the interwar period. With Luther Pell, Raina and the Paradise club in the background, we get to know Jack Wingate, who is writing a book about profiling criminals by analyzing crime scenes and Prudence Ryland, aka Madame Ariadne, who interprets dreams. Ryland leaves her home after a new client shows up trying to kill her and after a brief period in Adelina Beach, arrives in Luther’s office looking for help figuring out who kidnapped her and some protection against whoever that might have been. Ryland moves into Wingate’s enormous house and they get to know each other and, in the process, they learn a lot about themselves as well.
Watching the Evil Rich Family implode was an absolute delight. I just can’t _even_ describe how much fun that was. So. Completely. Awesome.
Fans familiar with Arcane will recognize some references, but as is the case with a lot of her more recent work, it’s background that you don’t have to have to enjoy the story.
