The Burning Cove series, written under the Amanda Quick pen name, is set in 1930s California and follows different couples in the fictional resort town of Burning Cove. Starting with The Girl Who Knew Too Much (2017), the series blends the glamour of old Hollywood with paranormal elements and suspense plotlines. Each book introduces a new heroine who has some form of psychic ability and pairs her with a hero who has his own secrets.
The 1930s setting gives Krentz a rich backdrop of art deco aesthetics, noir atmosphere, and social upheaval. The Burning Cove books have become one of her most popular series, with seven installments that balance period detail with the fast pacing her readers enjoy. The paranormal elements are woven in lightly enough that the books read as historical mysteries first and foremost.
