4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly cheeky novel that contradicts its ponsy cover, 2 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I picked this book up in an airport bookshop and at first wasn't encouraged by the "pretty girly" cover. It difinitely does the author a disservice and I would recommend a brighter or more modern style cover to attract a younger audience. However, my plane was running late and rather than putting it back on the shelf, I glanced inside and liked the style of writing. The characters are witty, frank and politely unconventional. You become involved in the little twists and turns of their lives and I got quite a few laughs at the scrapes some of the characters got themselves into. An interesting fictional look into the world of classical musicians.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventures in the country, 25 Dec 2007
By Damaskcat (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Cleo and Prue need jobs - Cleo for the holidays - Prue needs one permanently. Cleo become a secretary to Sylvester Tate and Prue goes to work for Magdalena Mountjoy at Mountjoy Castle. Eccentric characters, charmingly amoral beheviour and a cleverly interwoven plot makes for an enjoyable read. This is the first one in the Mountjoy series and several of the characters make an appearance in the later books. Read this one first if you want to read them in order.
