Customer Reviews

Traditional Regency set in the country

I've had a session of rewarding myself by rereading some of the books I thoroughly enjoy recently, and as the reviews now link up with each other I thought I'd mention a few. SHEILA BISHOP's No Hint of Scandal is one of them. The book is set in the country, the major characters are three brothers, Richard, lord of the manor, and now a widower, Theo vicar of the parish, and Verney the younger brother who has not been quite as respectable as Louisa, Theo's wife might wish. The plot twists back and forth. Even some interesting attempts at blackmail.From the back of the book....No scandal has cast a shadow over the Capel family for at least three generations. So when Verney Capel is forced to resign from his regiment, his family are not very pleased - especially when he plays fast and loose with the affections of Harriet Piper, a local heiress. Harriet longs to be loved, but she is unable to compete with fascinating Julia Johnson. There is some sort of mystery about Julia, but by the time it begins to come out she has married into the Capel family, and what can be done to stave off disaster? Harriet ventures into the fray and makes some astonishing discoveries...
