Considering
fox hunting to be inhumane Jacelyn Trevaine managed to interfere at every hunt
and Squire George Bottwick couldn’t take it anymore. When Jacey wasn’t
repentant enough after her latest effort the Squire jailed her dog, Penelope,
for being a public nuisance. Jacey was outraged and with the squire throwing
the gauntlet Jacey planned to get the upper hand. She knew the Squire’s nephew,
Lord Arthur Ponsonby, was arriving at the estate that evening, so she planned
to take him hostage and demand her dog be released as the ransom. Wearing a
groom’s outgrown clothes, she waylaid a man and horse on the road and her plan
was on track. Then everything went wrong. Or was it right?
Once
again Ms. Metzger had me excitedly turning the pages. With well-developed
characters and a delicious plot filled with humor I didn’t want to put the
story down until it had reached its conclusion. Barbara Metzger’s books are a
guilty pleasure I so look forward to reading.
