Lily & Robert are impoverished, but were once rich & high society: Their father lost all his money in the crash of 1929 and promptly committed suicide leaving his children in debt & homeless... As the series begins they have been invited to the reading of their Uncle's will. As it turns out he had been watching them and decided that as they were the only ones to have never asked him for money, rather taking jobs that barely kept them housed & fed, he left them the bulk of his estate on the condition that they: live in the house for ten (10) years; never leave the village for more than 2 weeks a year each; and they each find employment to support their personal needs, all the estate needs would be provided for from the Estate's funds. Things are going along well, until someone brings up the fact that their Uncle drowned but the autopsy found a large gash in his head.... Both Lily & Robert begin to investigate, but those in the know have never been able to prove anything. I enjoyed this book, it was interesting and entertaining. I was sure that I had read this series before, but the only parts I remember are Robert & Lily's circumstances & Robert's yellow Duesenberg I enjoyed the main characters of Lily Brewster and her brother Robert immensely! I usually do not think of actors that could play the parts of the lead characters but for this title I could easily imagine Pierce Bronsan and his leading lady Stephanie Zimbalist from Remington Steele. It's an easy-to-read mystery that was pleasant to curl up with and read. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Pertence a SérieGrace and Favor (1)
The crash of 1929 has ended the party for high-living New Yorkers Lily Brewster and her brother Robert and takes them from the upper echelons of the idle rich and deposits them to the lowly depths of the disillusioned poor. However, rescue arrives in the form of their recently deceased great-uncle Horation who bequeaths to them Grace and Favor "Cottage" which is really a great sprawling mansion. And there's a fortune to go with it, but only if they reside there for ten years. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This was an engaging fast read. I liked the setting, interesting characters, and the sparely written plot, with a few twists and turns to keep me guessing. ( )
