This time the renters are an unlikely couple, the Goodenoughs, apparently father and daughter; she a great beauty, he silent and mysterious.

The Adventuress

I loved this book and recomend it to all MC Beaton fans. I have purchased all her books and I am going on line to purchase the last book in this series so that I can listen to them one after another when my sister comes to stay.

Light fun

So much fun to listen to- wonderful narration and good plot twists. The “A House for hue Season” series is great

ADORE this Series

This reminds me of the poor relations series. Full of well drawn, eccentric characters. Lots of chuckles and smiles.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series

I liked the episode, the Earl's behavior was unexpected. Rainbird and the clan's story line was lots of fun!

These are cute

This is my second time around with this series. I appreciated how light, frivolous, and humorous the story was. There is a bit of mystery and intrigue without lengthy angst, which I was glad of. I wish we had more work in this genre from this author, as I've read every single one at least once. And some several times.
