On her way to a position as a lady's companion, Annabelle Makepeace is enticed into a madcap scheme to recover an heirloom bracelet and is pitted against a handsome major who is determined to expose her as a fortune hunter.
I loved this book. The plot--two women temporarily switching identities--might have been too absurd handled by another writer, but Ms. Watson tells the story deftly. Annabelle (masquerading as Lillie) vows to live a quiet life in London while her friend goes off on an adventure, but Belle can't avoid some very funny scrapes with Lillie's relatives and especially her too charming and handsome childfriend boyfriend.While trying to avoid him, Belle spends her time looking for the long-lost Cat's Bracelet hidden somewhere inside the London house. Watson's cat, Filbert, is the most marvelous fictional cat you'll meet in a long while. His antics and asides are real and humorous. This book kept me wanting more!I also read Watson's "The Changeable Rose," and recommend it as well as her, "Changing Seasons."

I enjoyed reading this book, but I didn't really get engrossed in it. Probably because the plot is rather slow.
