The Rather Series – Books 1 - 3

The ‘Rather Series’ starts off with A Rather Lovely Inheritance where American, Penny Nichols discovers she is to inherit a fortune from her dearly departed British great-aunt after whom she is named.  After arriving in London for the reading of the will, she re-meets her cousin, Jeremy (as we discover, actually not blood related)  with whom she develops a romance.  But that is not all. The fun begins with the initial discovery that Penny has inherited a villa in France and a vintage car.  The second discovery is that her great-aunt lived a double life with secrets at every turn.  Chasing down clues and solving the mysteries with Penny and Jeremy keeps this well-paced story a delight to return to.

You will want to read book two, A Rather Curious Engagement and then onto the third in the series, A Rather Charming Invitation. You will want to continue becoming best friends with this dynamic duo as you vicariously share in their escapades.  The sequels do not disappoint!
