About the Author
M. C. Beaton has won international acclaim for her bestselling Hamish Macbeth mysteries and the Agatha Raisin mystery series. She is also the author of more than one hundred romance titles and a series of romantic suspense novels, the Edwardian Mystery series. Born in Scotland, she now divides her time between Paris and the English Cotswolds.
From Library Journal
Meek and mousy Miss Tonks bravely sets out to steal from her wealthy but overbearing sister to get the needed funds to resurrect the hotel she runs with her compatriots. Though they despair of her ability to do so, Miss Tonks returns not only with the goods but with her niece Cassandra as well. Cassandra is fleeing her domineering mother's attempts to marry her to Lord Eston and sees her aunt's single, independent lifestyle as attractive. This second volume of Chesney's latest series, "The Poor Relation," combines zany characters with light-hearted romance and a well-developed scenario to produce an engaging Regency, despite the silly title. Followers of Chesney and Regency readers will enjoy.
