Victoria Holt (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1997

"THE PROLIFIC MISS HOLT COMBINES SUSPENSE AND ROMANCE WITH THE MASTER'S TOUCH."
--Boston Herald

For as long as she could remember, the exquisite Lenore Cleremont had lived at The Silk House, the luxurious English country estate of the wealthy Sallonger family. Neither servant nor true member of the family, she grew up under the protection of her Grand'mere--who worked designing the luxurious gowns for the family's vast silk trade.

Lenore showed promise as a dress designer herself. But most important, she had won the heart of the two charismatic Sallonger sons: Charles, handsome but cruel, and Phillip, as kind-hearted as he was charming.

But tragedy was ready to strike. Soon Lenore found herself playing a central role in a drama that threatened to destroy everything she held dear. . . .

"Victoria Holt [is] the doyenne of romantic suspense fiction."
--The Grand Rapids Press

This review is from: Silk Vendetta Special Edition (Mass Market Paperback)

The Silk Vendetta is one of Victoria Holt's best books. Mixing intrigue, mystery, romance and suspense, she weaves a compelling tale round the heroine Lenore, who grows up at The Silk House. The background of the silk trade is engrossing, and Lenore's character is compelling as she deals with the two men in her life, Philip - likeable and kindhearted- and Charles, as cruel as he is handsome. But as always with Victoria Holt, all is not as it seems, and Lenore has to go through a succession of adventures before finding true love. If you like your romances sevred up with plenty of adventure, then read this book. If you've read other Victoria Holt books then you'll know what I mean, and if you haven't, you're in for a treat.
