Book Description:
It's time for a bit of cat racing, a sinister mystery, and a light touch of gothic menace. Add the signature Sherbrooke grit and wit and voila, you have PENDRAGON.
Here's to the next generation -- Tysen Sherbrooke now has four sons and Meggie, age nineteen. Her almost-cousin Jeremy Stanton-Greville -- Sophia Sherbrooke's brother, and the man Meggie has held in silent adoration since she was thirteen years old -- unknowingly breaks her guileless heart. She rallied with a hasty marriage to Thomas Malcombe, the earl of Lancaster, a brand new card in the Sherbrooke deck.
Thomas takes his bride to Pendragon, a castle on the southeastern coast of Ireland. A monstrous old place, filled with very eccentric folk, Pendragon nonetheless charms Meggie, until she discovers that she's there for a reason that could lead to disaster.

A VERY GOOD READ. JUST ENOUGH MYSTERY, HISTORY AND BATTLE OF THE SEXES. I WILL DEFINATELY GET MORE OF THIS AUTHOR.

Coulter's latest Regency-era romance continues the saga of the Sherbrooke family, relayed in her Bride Trilogy (The Sherbrooke Bride, etc.). While attending her first London ball, 18-year-old Meggie, daughter of Reverend Tysen Sherbrooke, encounters an old schoolgirl crush, her "almost-cousin" Jeremy. Certain that she is now old enough to be truly in love, she's devastated when her affections aren't returned. In an attempt to get over Jeremy, she hastily marries Thomas Malcombe, the earl of Lancaster, a man who has been scarred by his history with untrustworthy women. Meggie must win over her husband, even as she battles her nasty mother-in-law for control of the estate. Her troubles don't stop there, however; someone is trying to kill her, and she and Thomas must discover who and why. Although fans of the series will undoubtedly enjoy revisiting the charming and eccentric Sherbrooke family, new readers will find themselves at a loss to explain some of their bizarre behavior (the family's tradition of cat racing, for instance). Several of the novel's plot points are left unresolved as well such as the reason behind Mrs. Malcombe's antipathy toward Meggie and the motive behind Thomas's younger brother's rakish behavior. Despite the occasional charming moment, this slight story falls short of Coulter's usual standards. (Jan.)Forecast: Over the years, Coulter's fan base has expanded to include devotees of contemporary romantic suspense and thriller novels, but these readers won't find her latest a worthy introduction to her historicals. Coulter's long-time fans, however, will pluck this one off the shelf before the dust has a chance to settle.
This is abook of cat racing, a sinister mystery, and a light touch of gothic menace. Add the signature Sherbrooke grit and with and boila, you have Pendragon.
I have not read a Catherine Coulter book that I didn't like.

Everything by Catherine Coulter is a keeper. She's one of my favorite authors, and I've read almost all of her books. Set in England 1823.
