"A Rather Lovely Inheritance" (#56)


A Rather Lovely Inheritance" by C.A. Belmond is very lovely book!  I enjoyed it "muchly."  One of those books, which you don't want to end...  A mostly gentle, classy read, complete with non-wealthy-at-the-beginning- heroine.

I certainly agree with a reviewer who wrote:  "And this is a rather lovely book, too. Penny Nichols is a historian and researcher for a Hollywood television production company currently on the French Riveria filming a story. She is summoned to London to handle an inheritance for her English-born mother. She encounters wealth, stealth, and a rather lovely man. A sweet book with wonderful characters, riches, and love. Moving back and forth between the French riveria and London is also not too shabby a life for a struggling historian. Very enjoyable."
 
The author is quoted as saying (in back of the book) that: "I have a real fondness for the clever yet wistful songs, movies and theatre of the 1920s and 1930s.  I love the rapid-fire, sassy bantering..." 
 
If you too, enjoy a set-in-the-present book, which has been called:  "A return to the golden age of romantic suspense!"  then I suggest that you find a copy, in your library system.

And look!!!!!!!  There are 3 more books, in this Series!  How delightful!

"Naughty In Nice"

.

 
by Rhys Bowen
Another in the 'Royal Spyness' Mysteries
 
From a review:
"Rhys Bowen’s latest offering in her Royal Spyness series, Naughty in Nice, is pure fun. The French Riviera in 1933, Coco Chanel, Mrs. Simpson and the Duke of Windsor lurking on the sidelines, handsome scoundrels and clever thieves, gorgeous gowns and too much champagne, not to mention a dark, handsome lover and a clever if somewhat naïve young Lady Georgiana (cousin to Queen Mary) out to solve all the puzzles even if it puts her life in danger."

Another fun-and-froth book!

There are 2 more in the Series, and my ^&(*&^%$$^ Library System doesn't have them.  Grrrrrr.....

..........................

But, Rhys Bowen has written other Series.  Think I will try her first 'Constable Evan Mysteries'...  About a young police constable, has traded city life for that of Llanfair - an idyllic Welsh village.  "Village life".  That's sounds promising...  :-)

"Royal Flush" by Rhys Bowen



"Royal Flush" by Rhys Bowen...  

Another of the "Her Royal Spyness" series...

 From a review:

"Set in 1932, Bowen's winning third Royal Spyness whodunit to feature Lady Georgiana, a great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria and 34th in line to the English throne ..., will please fans of romantic, humorous historicals."

Light and fun read!!!
