Kicking the hornet's nest book

Pseudonym of site_link Morris Hershman Pseudonym of site_link Morris Hershman site_link Hornet s NestA rich old man who lives on a remote island wishes to see his long lost granddaughter before he dies The family don t know where she is so they hire a young woman named Julia to impersonate her The deception works but Julia gets than she bargained for when she uncovers family plots and secrets. Hornet nest and wasp nest This is fairly well written but not very gripping The heroine never seems to be in very much danger she s worried about her thin wrists than her safety At one point she throws a tantrum in front of her potential love interest when she hears a rumour about him that she makes no attempt to ask him about It makes her very unsympathetic The climax employs a very silly situation about Julia being locked in a shed which seems to provide no tension at all she quite likes it And I did have to laugh at the final chapter which I can t believe the author thought was a happy ending for Julia Anyone will do as long as it s marriage right Hornet s Nest
