Isabella Valdez has been found by the men who are pursuing her. Isabella is the granddaughter of a conspiracy theorist. She was always told that if trouble came, she was to seek the help of the Jones & Jones agency. After she eludes her pursuers, she heads to Scargill Cove where she finds a life like nothing she has ever known. She goes from being a waitress in a cafe to a job as Fallon Jones' assistant without him knowing how it happened.

Fallon Jones is the head of the Jones & Jones Detective Agency. He is deep into solving the problems of Nightshade. He is viewed as a conspiracy nut who is approaching insanity by leaders of the Arcane Society. Isabella amuses him, enchants him and involves him in investigations he has no business being involved in.

Fans of Ms. Krentz won't be disappointed by this first book of the Looking Glass Trilogy. Filled with her well-known dry humor and the complications of a business dealing with various types of talent, this book was such a joy to read that I read it again two weeks later. I loved the interactions between Isabella and Fallon and the complications of her discovery of a collection of artifacts that have baffled investigators for years. The addition of some very quirky characters in Scargill Cove and Isabella's grandmother completed my enjoyment.

Book Summary

Jayne Ann Krentz follows up her highly successful Dreamlight Trilogy written in collaboration with her two alter egos, Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle with a brand-new story arc that begins in a secluded coastal town in northern California.

Scargill Cove is the perfect place for Fallon Jones, confirmed recluse and investigator of the paranormal. It’s a hot spot, a convergence point for unusually strong currents of energy, which might explain why the town attracts misfits and drifters like moths to a flame. Now someone else has been drawn to the Cove Isabella Valdez, on the run from some very dangerous men.

When she starts working as Fallon’s assistant, Isabella impresses him by organizing his pathologically chaotic office and doesn’t bat an eye at the psychic element of his job. She’s a kindred spirit, a sanctuary from a world that considers his talents a form of madness. But after a routine case unearths an antique clock infused with dark energy, Fallon and Isabella are dragged into the secret history of Scargill Cove and forced to fight for their lives, as they unravel a cutthroat conspiracy with roots in the Jones family business…and Isabella’s family tree.
