Plucky governess Penelope Lumley is exiled to Russia, while the
Incorrigible children are back at Ashton Place, at the mercy of the
enigmatic Edward Ashton. Moreover, the curse on the Ashton family seems
to be coming to a head. Will all of the disparate elements come together
in time?
This book does a good job of tying up all of the loose
ends of the series. If you’ve enjoyed it up to this point, you should
find this a satisfying read. It’s been a while since I read the last
book, so some of the details were a little hazy — I recommend having the
other books fresh in your memory, if possible.
Side note: The
author dedicated the book to Katy, or Katherine Kellgren, audiobook
narrator of the first five books in the series, who passed away earlier
this year. There’s a touching author’s note at the end. It brought a tear to my eye, for
sure.
(Reviewed from a copy borrowed through my library system.)
