Title: One of my favorite Brent novels!
Product review: I am amazed how totally different Brent's stories are. Each book has great adventures and I never see repetitions. We again have the plucky English heroine, but this time she also has a nanny and younger sister to take care of after their charming papa delivers a shock along with his death. We have the charming hero and villain to tantalize and confuse her and us while we follow her efforts to keep the family afloat. Through luck she falls into a lucrative vaudeville Chaplin-type act and through innate ability and hard work she succeeds at it. I now understand and appreciate slapstick more than I did before. Brent writes so well that I even laughed when she described the slapstick comedy acts and I generally don't care for slapstick. Our heroine encounters many interesting characters who help and hurt her along the way. And things get complicated and what turns out to be a treasure hunt heats up in France.
