Blog Tour: Close Up by Amanda Quick

Welcome to Burning Cove, California where 1930s Hollywood glamour conceals a ruthless killer…

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 only another photographer would have noticed—details that put Vivian at the top of the killer’s target list.

Nick Sundridge has always been able to “see” things that others don’t, coping with disturbing dreams and visions. His talent, or as he puts it—his curse—along with his dark past makes him a recluse, but a brilliant investigator. As the only one with the ability to help, Nick is sent to protect Vivian. Together, they discover the Dagger Killer has ties to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood royalty and high society. It is a cutthroat world of allure and deception that Vivian and Nick must traverse—all in order to uncover the killer who will stop at nothing to add them to their gallery of murders. 

                            MY REVIEW:

Close Up by Amanda Quick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Close Up is the 4th book in the series. I did not realize that when I read it but I don't think it mattered. It felt like a stand a lone.
Vivien Brazier is a photographer. She wants to use her photography as art and have it in galleries but for now she takes pictures at scenes of murders and fires and sells to papers. As she takes pics of a murdered actress, she notices there is something similar to the murder of another one. Now Vivien is at the top of hit list.
Nick Sundridge is someone who can see things in his dreams and now he has been told that Vivien's life is in danger. So he shows up at her door to try to convince her. She has been put into danger and needs to relocate for a short while. But she is also trying to get her foot into art galleries.
I did enjoy this book a lot. Vivien is a very independent woman and her parents are not happy with her. This does have instant love in it just as a warning.
I received this from NetGalley and Berkley for review.
