Money to Burn

By: Elizabeth Cadell

Narrated by: Janet Cadell Reynolds

"A week at Trysting had its trials", Leigh thought. A round of odd jobs with Aunt Elvira, bad poetry with Aunt Rosande, and bouts of hay fever with Aunt Dolly were not his idea of a restful holiday. Nor did his cousin Raymond, who seemed sunk in gloom, help matters. Or a mystery Leigh could not fathom about someone burning down the old house and the disappearance of the family silver. But meanwhile there was a Hampshire summer, and there was Auriol.

Auriol, Leigh thought, was lovely - but he didn’t want to live on eggs.

ANOTHER LOVELY BOOK

I'm so glad Elizabeth Cadell's family continues to produce her books. This vintage romance is filled with wonderful characters and kindnesses. Check it out!

Another treasure from the past.

Money to Burn was published in 1955 and is a gentle, romantic cozy mystery revolving around the burning down of an old family house and the disappearance of the family silver.
It’s a stroke of good fortune that Elizabeth Cadell’s daughter, Janet Reynolds, is the narrator.
The stories are always charming with picturesque settings and amusing dialogue between the well written characters.
When I want a respite from the hectic times in which we are living, I turn to this author to find calm and peace.
