"The Vanisher Variationsis definitely one of the Libi Astaire Jewish Regencies that stands out in the series for well-constructed plot, satisfyingness of the mystery’s solution, representation of diversity, and even just how much fun I had reading it." - 5-Star Goodreads Review
What does the wealthy wife of a Junior Lord of the Treasury have to do with London’s Jewish community? 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.
