Fans of light mysteries are sure to enjoy this fairy-tale indulgence. Katherine Kellgren portrays Penny Nichols, a struggling American who receives an unexpected inheritance from her English great-aunt that makes her wealthy beyond her wildest dreams. A cast of English, French, Italian, and American characters gives Kellgren the opportunity to display her talent with accents as Penny finds herself in the middle of a family squabble over the inheritance. Kellgren’s enthusiastic narration sweeps listeners through the beautiful French countryside, the Riviera, and the busy streets of London while making details of vintage cars, clothing, and art history sound utterly enchanting. A little suspense and romance, complete with a happy ending, make for rather lovely listening indeed. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
Penny Nichols is a historical researcher working on a big-budget film in the south of France when she gets an urgent call. Her aunt Penelope has just died, and Penny's presence is required in London for the reading of the will. With only a slim recollection of her eccentric aunt, Penny is astonished to learn that not only is she the bona fide heiress--but she's also been invited to put her research skills to work. This time, the history she's researching happens to be her very own. What she discovers about Aunt Penelope, a pair of wills, double lives, secret histories, and a family tree of `vultures' is about to sweep Penny and a long-lost relative across France, over the hills of Italy, and through half of Europe on the adventure of several lifetimes. This is her life, her past, her chance at love-and Penny's going to live with the kind of passion she's always dreamed of...
