The Penrose Treasure

Cornish Sagas #2

by Janet Tanner

When Tamsin Hardy returns home from her post as a lady’s maid to attend her beloved mother’s sickbed, her childhood playmate Isobel Penrose offers her a post as her companion at Trevarrah House. Tamsin reluctantly accepts, but she feels instinctively uneasy about Trevarrah House despite her growing attraction to Isobel’s brother Adam , recently returned from the war in America. There is a bitter rivalry between Adam and his brother Nicholas, and Tamsin increasingly fears for her growing involvement with the Penrose family… A gripping tale of love and family, perfect for fans of Linda Finlay and Gloria Cook.

The mystery of intrigue

Cornwall and Janet Tanner at best. Has you gripped to the last page. You don't want it to end a great read.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good read for fans of 'Poldark'.

[Rosa · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed the book but found it quite predictable. The heroine was at times very naive making her annoying. The criminal was so obvious. However I always enjoy dark quiet heroes and the hero in this book fit that description.
