Beyond Hilarity

This book is beyond funny - it is hilarious!! How can you not love a family with names like Quenton Quinton? The cover art, the title and even the premise may seem a bit discouraging, but the book is a hidden gem among short stories. Although it is just slightly less than 200 pages, the story is chock-full of action, romance, and of course, hilarity. I had read something by Kasey Michaels before and was not impressed, but this story definitely caught my attention. The setting and the vocabulary are very British and the lead characters speak with such aristocracy and pompousness that it just makes you laugh. The verbal exchanges among the characters is very subtle at times, as are the barbs and wit, but it's a first class little story. Think Scarlet Pimpernel and you kind of have an overview of the characters and how they speak. The story is a light murder mystery, but at the center of it all is Miss Quinton and her evolution from a dowdy spinster to a fashionable miss. A charming story to pass a few hours with.

This story was put together really well

The late Professor Quennel Quinton never had been the most affectionate of fathers. Nevertheless, his daughter Victoria is determined to find out who killed him. Her single clue: a valuable snuffbox bearing the initials "P.S." But making the acquaintance of the various wealthy gentlemen with the damning initials would necessitate becoming socially accepted. Not an easy task for a penniless orphan raised in a scholarly environment. Enter Patrick Sherbourne, a devilishly handsome lord, all too anxious to grace her entrance into society. With Patrick at her side, Victoria makes the acquaintance of three more "P.S." gentleman. But, much to her dismay, the evidence seems destined to point right in the direction of the irresistible lord who has completely captured her heart.This book is only 180 pages but still worth the effort to read it.
