Story
Vivian Brazier never thought life as an art photographer would include nightly wake-up calls to snap photos of grisly crime scenes or headshots for aspiring male actors. Although she is set on a career of transforming photography into a new art form, she knows her current work is what’s paying the bills. After shooting crime scene photos of a famous actress, the latest victim of the murderer the press has dubbed the “Dagger Killer,” Vivian notices eerie similarities to the crime scenes of previous victims details that put Vivian at the top of the killer’s target list.

Publisher's Summary
An unconventional woman and a man shrouded in mystery walk a tightrope of desire as they race against a killer to find a top secret invention before it’s too late.
Former trapeze artist Amalie Vaughn moved to Burning Cove to reinvent herself, but things are not going well. After spending her entire inheritance on a mansion with the intention of turning it into a bed-and-breakfast, she learns too late that the villa is said to be cursed. When the first guest, Dr. Norman Pickwell, is murdered by his robot invention during a sold-out demonstration, rumors circulate that the curse is real.
In the chaotic aftermath of the spectacle, Amalie watches as a stranger from the audience disappears behind the curtain. When Matthias Jones reappears, he is slipping a gun into a concealed holster. It looks like the gossip that is swirling around him is true - Matthias evidently does have connections to the criminal underworld.
Matthias is on the trail of a groundbreaking prototype cipher machine. He suspects that Pickwell stole the device and planned to sell it. But now Pickwell is dead and the machine has vanished. When Matthias’s investigation leads him to Amalie’s front door, the attraction between them is intense, but she knows it is also dangerous. Amalie and Matthias must decide if they can trust each other and the passion that binds them, because time is running out.

The narrator is awful!!!!
This narrator sounds like she is first time novice. I felt like screaming because I waited for this book but cannot enjoy it. At times is seems the main character is talking to herself because the voices are barely discernible from each other. From the very beginning as the man forces the girl up the tight rope you begin to realize the problem of “the voice.” I stopped at chapter five... just no more... NO MORE. The narration only gets worse as she begins to chew words with no sense of timing and rhythm. Not worth your credit. Buy a hard copy.

This is not Jayne Castle writing the books anymore
I used to love Jayne Castle's books. But since 2015 any I come across is written with such a different style, much poorer unfortunately that I cannot stomach the difference. I i do not know who is writing those books now but I would not have such a dislike if that person would write under her own name or pseudonym not to decive the readers.

A Great Burning Cove series!
Was thrilled to listen to another burning cove series book, which brings back the Sylvester Jones ancestry from the past lineage to the 1930's !
Loved all her previous books that dealt with the Sylvester Jones lineage and the entire Arcane Series etc...
This story has the mystery, the fear and romantic suspense with muder, a twisted invention and of course...a talented investigator named
Mr. M. S. Jones.
I'll let you read the book for more...
Audible Narration was done very well....
I would recommend this book, was an enjoyable read\listen!

Amanda Quick never fails to please
I can’t remember the last book I listened to recently that I listened a the way through in one go. J K amazes again. With a good light story mystery arcane fantasy Along with yet another Jones woven into the tale. The narrator is reasonable. But not as good as some of the one older arcnaratord in other Arcane narrators. Still a reasonable listen
