Enlightening Delilah, The School for Manners Series

In this Regency romance by the New York Times–bestselling author of the Agatha Raisin mysteries, one little kiss causes big trouble for a debutante.

The formidable but lovable spinster sisters, Amy and Effie Tribble are back with their salty exchanges and impossible schemes. Earning their livings by sponsoring young girls and finding them husbands, they take on the case of Delilah, a beautiful, mindlessly flirtatious country heiress. What puzzles everyone is why such a beauty is unmarried at 23, and why she is ensconced in the London school of the zany Tribbles. The answer is found in the handsome person of Sir Charles Digby, returned from the Napoleonic Wars and startled to learn he is the cause of Delilah’s single state. He’s eager to remedy it—if Delilah doesn’t botch things up first…

ABOUT THE SERIES


The Misses Tribble, Amy and Effie, spinster sisters of a certain age, have lived for years on expectations of a great inheritance. When this fails to materialize, they are truly destitute. Desperate, they advertise that they will refine wild and unruly daughters, present them, and see them safely wed. The School for Manners six book series follows these two stalwart spinsters as they undertake enterprises of matchmaking and navigate the troublesome machinations of the London marriage mart.

“Still the best of the Regency assortment: old fans—and new ones—can dig in with total confidence.”—Kirkus Reviews
