The ghost of the Virgin Bride is visiting the Sherbrooke family members to warn of danger to Douglas Sherbrooke, Earl of Northcliffe. Although Douglas prefers to pretend that the ghost doesn't exist, even he must admit something is going on after he is shot. His twin sons, now fully grown, are determined to prevent any further attempts on their beloved father's life and begin searching for the person behind the attempts. In addition, James and Jason must also endure the rigors of the Little Season, neighbor Corrie Tybourne-Barrett's first foray into the Marriage Mart.
Tomboy Corrie has loved James her whole life and when he is himself attacked, doesn't hesitate to step into the role of rescuer. Meanwhile Jason finds himself taken by a beautiful Irish miss, Judith McCrae.
The Sherbrookes are an eccentric family that are always a delight to visit. But you might want to put down the drinks while reading, unless you LIKE having liquid pour out through your nose. The range of Coulter is truly amazing. The Sherbrooke series is light and amusing (although be warned that this one doesn't end happily for everyone -- you might need a tissue or two at the end), while her FBI series is extremely dark. If you're in the mood for love and laughter, you couldn't go far wrong with this particular series. And while it isn't essential to read the books in order, I personally would recommend it. Begin with The Sherbrooke Bride to get the full effect, rather than with this eighth entry into the series.
