A Rather Lovely Inheritance and A Rather Curious Engagement, both by C.A. Belmond, are wonderful books chronicling the story of Penny Nichols (Yes, that's her real name!) Penny is a charming, sassy and smart character that you'll root for even when you know she's going to get herself in trouble. In the first novel, Penny, a historical filmmaker, is whisked away to London after her great aunt Penelope's death. To her surprise, Penny is left quite a bit of her great aunt's items. All is not perfect in Penny's world however, as she soon realizes that her wacky cousin, Rollo, may not be the nice guy he seems to be. Rollo is after her inheritance but Penny doesn't know why - he has been left his own share of things, seemingly more valuable than anything Penny was left. Eventually, with the help of her other cousin Jeremy, Penny finds that there is something else more valuable hidden somewhere within her inheritance that Rollo wants. With breathtaking settings in France's Cote De Azur, Italy and London, Penny and Jeremy's quest to find the mysterious item is suspenseful and filled with excitement, leading them to one of the biggest historical discoveries of current time! In sequel A Rather Curious Engagement, you'll once again find Penny and Jeremy getting themselves in over their heads as they try to splurge with a little bit of the money left by great aunt Penelope. It's just as much fun as the first novel - with a few unexpected twists and turns. Belmond's creative style gives both books a nice mix of romance, mystery and humor.
