What I liked about this novel.....

A story that was a unique novella and I enjoyed it.  We find the Viscount (Ned) Edward Vasey  is on his way home due to the death of his brother after being gone for a long time.  This was during the Christmas holidays and while on his way home not only was there bad weather but he was robbed.  Not being able to get to his destination and  he ends up at Selby home and this turns out to be one of the strangest house parties ever with a lots of strange folks.  While there he meets Lady Georgie who was engaged to  a Godfrey  and we will find she is very unhappy about this situation. Why is that?   Then this story really takes off.  I liked how this author was able to keep my interest in this quick read. This is where I will say you must pick up the good read to see how this author presents it all to the reader.  I loved the quick ending...so many times I find the author will go on and on.  I loved how the author cut it short and gave us a good quick ending.  No, we may not know what all happened but we know in the end Lady Georgie got a ...well again I will stop and say you will have to read it for yourself and come to your own conclusion of just what all you may think happened  between  Roger and  Godfrey after they found out....?    Would I recommend as a good read?  YES!
