This Jamie Richmond book 2 is as good as the 1st book. Mark Love is a amazing writer. I can't wait to read book 3.

Vanishing Act by Mark Love is described as a romance but I'm not sure why. Although the main character, Jamie Richmond, is in love the relationship is obviously established and doesn't particularly change or progress during the story. It would be better classified as suspense as the main story line is about a stalker and a kidnapping.
Vanishing Act opens well with a prologue that drew me in and made me want to read on. The rest of the story is good, it moves along at a reasonable pace and there is plenty of action. The characters are well drawn.
I did find parts of the plot unlikely and the characters' constant use of each others names during dialogue irritating - especially as each character has more than one version of their name and the 'mysterious' Malone (although I wasn't quite sure what was mysterious about him) is called something different in every chapter.
