Miss Tonks Turns To Crime (Poor Relation, #2)

by M.C. Beaton

One cannot live of dignity alone!

The poor relations banded together some time ago to run The Poor Relation Hotel in the hope their embarrassed relatives would buy them out, but as the hotel prospered, so they began to enjoy the fruit of their labour.

But once again they need money to go on and so poor, faded Miss Tonks is dispatched to her rich sister to steal something valuable from her in order to keep the hotel on its feet. All the other poor relations have their doubts about Miss Tonks' chances for success, but the shy spinster as more than a few surprises up her sleeve!

[wyvernfriend]

lighthearted romp


The plans have gone somewhat awry, the Poor Relations Hotel is actually successful but now it needs another cash injection, now it's Miss Tonk's turn and she decides to steal from her sister, who had stolen from her in the first place. Hijinks ensue and if you look too close things start to crumble but it's a light-hearted fun read all the same.
