The Lady Travelers Guide to scoundrels and other gentlemen

The Lady Travelers Guide to scoundrels and other gentlemen / Victoria Alexander read by Marian Hussey, 538 pgs.

A departure for me, this is a historical romance that features witty banter, travel adventures and a woman who changes her mind about love. India Prendergast was raised to be a VERY practical woman by her cousin who took her in after her parents died. Now her dear cousin Lady Heloise is missing! She embarked on a trip arranged by the Lady Travelers club and after a few descriptive letters, has disappeared. India, who has read MANY detective stories, is investigating and convinced that the club is a scam and stealing money from its members. She has pinned this on Derek Saunders, the great nephew of one of the founders of the club. Derek, at the same time, has discovered the possibly fraudulent setup and is concerned for his great aunt. India and Derek decide to work together to find Lady Heloise despite their obvious animosity for each other. They travel to Paris, the location of the last letter from Heloise. While together, they notice a lot of things to like about each other and proceed to fall in love. Will they end up together or will Inida's prim employer break them apart? I don't think it is much of a cliffhanger so don't hold your breath. The audio version is very well done.
