In the opinion of Mr. Ezra Melamed, nothing But when the lady disappears during a visit to Brighton to take the cure, her rich and powerful family decides that only Mr. Melamed can find her. Who would wish to harm the young lady? Where is she? And is she still alive? The lady's family are pressing him for answers, but to Mr. Melamed's consternation, every clue he turns up seems to vanish - like the steam from one of Brighton's famous vapor baths. The Vanisher Variations is the fourth book in the Jewish Regency Mystery series, a refreshingly different look at Regency England which combines lovably quirky characters with a generous dash of humor. |
