Praise for The Other Lady Vanishes
“It feels like Quick found a script to one of those film noir
delights and spun it into gold, so genuine is the atmosphere she
crafts. Within a few chapters, you can’t escape the sensation that
you’ve fallen back in time into a black-and-white picture rife with
mystery, murder, and a chemistry that develops in spite of (or
maybe because of) the mayhem around the two central
lovers.”—Entertainment Weekly
