Now You See Me... (Molly Blume)
For feisty Los Angeles crime reporter Molly Blume, life is good. She is newly married (to the adoring and adorable Rabbi Zack), and her latest true-crime book is a hot seller. However, when an overardent fan’s attentions arouse Molly’s suspicion, her thoughts turn uneasily to stalkers.
But the fan, Reuben Jastrow, swears that he desperately needs Molly’s help in finding his eighteen-year-old daughter, Hadassah, who has run away from home to be with a man she met on the Internet. Molly hesitantly agrees–and immediately has regrets. For Reuben hasn’t told her the whole truth. The more Molly looks for clues to the missing girl’s fate, the more she wonders: Is Hadassah a random victim of a predator, or is the girl a pawn in a scheme of revenge against her family?
It’s a long, deadly path that stretches before Molly, a path mined with hidden passions and festering secrets. And it ends with a final twist and an unnerving truth: What we don’t see can lead to danger . . . and tragedy.

| User Reviews |  | Very interesting mystery
rating: 5
This is the first Molly Blume mystery I've read, and I really enjoyed it -- enough that I will probably go back and read the earlier ones, to find out how Molly got to where she is. As an Orthodox Jew, I'm impressed with the accuracy and understatement of Ms. Krich's depiction of modern Orthodox Jews -- it's so accurate, without painting the lifestyle as the source of all ills or the source of all happiness as a lot of other writers try to do.
I'm also looking forward to the next book. There are some hints in this one of Molly's possible infertility, and I really hope the author delves into that -- having her deal with fertility issues and treatments rather than just providing a miraculous baby. It's such an important topic, especially within the Orthodox world. I would love to see how Molly deals with it.

One of the Best Mysteries Ever
rating: 5
This book is FABULOUS! It was filled with plenty of suspense.
Probably one of Rochelle Krich's best.

Molly Blume, the imperfect heroine, sounds an important wake-up call
rating: 5
Krich hits her best stride ever in dissecting the intricate relationships that exist between teacher and student, mentor and protege, and lovesick, confused teens. Molly Blume comes through again as her imperfect, human self gets personally involved in helping a HS senior save herself from a series of bad decisions.
The Orthodox Jewish world should take extra note of this important book that analyzes, albiet fictionally, the challenges facing the majority of teens today, in varying levels and consequences. There is also a veiled indictment of the tunnel vision that exists among many adults and educators that "its not happening in my backyard".
Kudos to Rochelle for taking on a difficult topic with grace, and with a great plot twist at the end.

Now you see me...
rating: 5
I just LOVE all of Ms. Krich's novels! I am in the middle of "Speak No Evil" (been up since 4:30 a.m.!) because I just HAVE know... "who done it?!"
I have enjoyed all of Ms. Krich's novels and am waiting with baited breath for her next one.

A CONTROLLED, FINELY NUANCED READING
rating: 5
Voice performer Deanna Hurst delivers a controlled, finely nuanced reading of Rochelle Krich's fourth episode in the adventures and misadventures of writer Molly Blume. As many know, Blume's Orthodox Jewish faith is very much a part of her life - Krich describes this beautifully and Hurst reads these passages with dignity and respect. Further, it's a bit of a dual performance for Hurst as the story revolves around a missing girl, Hadassah, and Hurst imbues this character's lines with guilelessness and gullibility.
Finding the missing Hadassah is not a job Blume sought, but she feels she owes a friend a favor. Seems the girl may have run off with someone she met on an Internet chat room, but the plot becomes murky with murder when the man in question is found dead. Surely the ingenuous Hadassah couldn't have committed such a crime....or could she?
Takes an expert voice performer to inhabit the voices of two rather disparate characters convincingly, but Hurst carries it off.
Listen and enjoy!
