The only problem is that, having made a survey of the house, she realises the incriminating information is in Marwick’s own bedroom. Olivia knows he has the material she needs to blackmail her pursuers into submission. On the run, she uses a trumped-up reference letter under an assumed name to get hired on as Marwick’s housekeeper. Enter Olivia Holladay who has problems of her own. Having learned that his almost beloved wife manipulated and betrayed him, Marwick has completely withdrawn into himself. The villain of Duran’s last novel, That Scandalous Summer, Marwick was a fiercely intelligent polymath and active political figure when at his best and before his monumental pride was reduced to ashes. I highly recommend this book and will be adding Duran to my autobuy list forthwith.Īlastair de Grey, Duke of Marwick is nothing to write home about as the story begins.
I suspect it’s her best yet, but I am too busy working through her back catalogue at the moment to make any kind of judgement. She’s sometimes a little more serious* than I prefer, but her latest release, Fool Me Twice, strikes a fantastic balance. Meredith Duran writes character driven historical romance.
