Fidelis Morgan

Ambitious Stepmother (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Countess Ashby de la Zouche would not be every parent's choice of chaperone for a teenagerm- in France, of all places. The second Mrs Alderman Franklyn-Green, however, will go to any lengths to get rid of her unwanted stepdaughter. And the promise of 100 guineas and a sojourn in the land of gay balls is sufficient to secure the Countess's services, even if the girl is a complete shrew. Sadly, Paris is far from the den of iniquity the Countess and her maidservant Alpiew were hoping for. Worse, any hopes of enjoying fine French cuisine are dashed when a fellow guest is poisoned. "Following on from Unnatural Fire and The Rival Queens, Fidelis Morgan has another winner here." (Kirkus UK) "A third irrepressible outing for the ebullient Countess Ashby de la Zouche and her awesomely bosomed maid, Alpiew, a pair of Restoration detectives dubbed Cagney and Lacey in corsets. Fun never came so lusty." The Guardian
