Penelope Goes to Portsmouth

M. C. Beaton

Kind-hearted Miss Hannah Pym is off to Portsmouth in the company of the beautiful but practical Miss Penelope Wilkins. Miss Pym quickly realises that Penelope needs someone to enliven her sheltered life, someone perhaps like their handsome travelling companion, Lord Augustus Railton. Penelope, however, thinks Lord Augustus is a ne’er-do-well…Hannah’s hopes for adventure, on the other hand, are fulfilled when the coach happens upon a footman who faces hanging for a crime he didn’t commit.

M C Beaton is the author of the hugely successful Agatha Raisin and Hamish Macbeth series, both published by Constable & Robinson.She left a full time career in journalism to turn to writing, and now lives in a village in the Cotswolds very much like Agatha’s beloved Carsely.
