Publisher Description

Marion Chesney's beloved Daughters of Mannerling series showcases the proud and lovely daughters of Sir William and Lady Beverley--six exceedingly beautiful and privileged young ladies. Isabella's first season in London is a disaster, with not a single offer of marriage. All possible suitors find her dull, while she believes none of the contenders for her affections are worth catching. Making matters worse, her father gambles away the family fortune and their opulent estate at Mannerling to the roguish Mr. Judd. Scheming to recover Mannerling, Isabella plays for Mr. Judd's affections. But complications arise when romance kindles between the haughty Isabella and the dashing Irish Viscount Fitzpatrick--who sees the inner beauty Isabella tries so hard to disguise. Chesney's enchanting tale is pure joy from beginning to end. Narrator Jill Tanner provides a dignified voice for the proud Isabella as she grapples with difficult choices that will change her family forever.

"This is the second in a funny, silly series of Edwardian mysteries. It's almost like Perils of Pauline - Lady Rose is first kidnapped, then sent to an insane asylum, and this is before the first murder. It all works out, of course, even though Rose is almost killed herself twice before the end. "

    " This was an amazon deal of the day when I decided to buy it but, even at $1.99 it was a waste of money. "

    " Marion Chesney is the ULTIMATE regency England writer!!! In my humble opinion anyway... I'm on a quest to find her books in hardback, which is difficult, but fun, since most of them are old library books. "

    " It was fun, predictable and an easy read. It entertained more than anything else. I learned much about customs and mores of the period. I like Marion Chesney's books. "

    " Decent entertainment - even a little bit of a surprise at the end that launches the sequels. Predictable romance but the setting and descriptions make up for it. "

    " Chesney is good at introducing the readers to a time in England when the classes were so distinct, when people knew what was best for them. She is a comedic writer capable of making anyone lovable if she so desires. I adore all of her books and have read them over and over. "

    " Probably more like 2.5 stars. The storyline was engaging and I like the Gothic twist to a Regency novel, but the writing was just so-so, a little too contrived. "

    " As always, Marion Chesney develops interesting characters in her historical fiction series. The "Beverley Pride" and the obsession with Mannerling are understandable emotions even in modern times, and the evolution of the characters is enjoyable to see. "

    " This one is good if you are looking for a quick, predictable but clean regency romanance. As there are 5 sisters, there are probably five more stories just like this. "

    " This is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. This series is by the same author as the Hamish MacBeth and Agatha Raisin books, she just changed her name a bit (instead of MC Beaton). It's a good light read for lovers of historical mystery, set in the early part of the 20th century in England. "
