M. C. Beaton has outdone herself. This novel is superbly crafted, has clever plotting, exotic characters, and a great descriptive historical setting. This book was fun to read and kept me on the the edge of my seat.

A ghostly take on a Pygmalion theme. The ghost of a Duke turns a scullery maid into a Lady. Her intention is to attract a rich husband. Many adventures follow the process of going through The Season once the transformation is complete.

Another soothing tale

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2012

I have to self disclose by revealing that I am a die hard Marian Chesney fan, i.e. she pretty much can do no wrong in my eyes. Taken in context with all of her other books in this genre this one was quite interesting. The first time I have seen her delve into the area of the supernatural, and with surprising results. The plot is the same as always beautiful but eccentric young lady, with some sort of confounding circumstances, finds love, and money, in the end. I tend to like her "series" plots and this one is a stand alone, but still excellent for all that.

Humor and drama

I enjoyed this story very much. It was fascination at the turn of each page. Loved the humor in it.

M. CHESNEY has OUT done herself. This book is hilarious. I've considered this AUTHOR as my favorite for many years, because of her ability to make you feel like you are there with the CHARACTERS. The mark of a truly great book, is that it has a little of drama, sadness, magic, laughter and mystery. The things THIS ghost gets up to IS LOL,and if any of you ladies have ever Ben in a situation that seemed hopeless, you can truly appreciate the heroines feelings. There is romance without all of the detailed SEXUAL exploits, incase anyone wants to know.

Preposterous but fun

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2013

Verified Purchase

I did enjoy this book, although it requires a stretch of the imagination. It was still fun.

There were a few, very few, grammatical errors, but there were not enough to interfere with my enjoyment of the story. There was an instance of the heroine in peril, saved by the hero, and I am not fond of romances which rely on that to bring the main character(s) to a realization they love each other. In this case it was a delightfully funny way to bring scoundrels to their just desserts.

So read it to escape for a little while into purely entertaining fun.

The Ghost and Lady Alice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is first and foremost a Regency romance but it is also a ghost story. It is charming, light hearted and poignant and made me cry as well as laugh. Alice is a scullery maid in a Duke's household. The servants are not treated that well and Alice has little food and less rest.

One night she creeps out of bed and goes and sits in the banqueting hall where the ghost of the 8th Duke appears and starts talking to her. Alice is intrigued - especially when he takes her hand and he feels real and alive and human.

The ghost of the Duke rescues Alice from her drudgery, educates her and thanks to his late wife's jewels sets Alice up in London in the guise of a French Countess who has been rescued from the Revolution. Their adventures makes a fast paced entertaining read - even though they would be totally unbelievable without the ghostly element.

I loved the characters and the situations and the way everything works out well - though not how you might expect. If you want to read a Regency romance which is a bit different then try this - it is good entertainment if you just want to relax into something far removed from real life.

Not one of her best but I enjoyed it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an unusual story from the unerring pen of the accomplished MC Beaton. Alice the scullery maid, mistreated by the current Duke and Duchess, dreams of a better life and one night, gazing at his picture, wishes the eighth Duke were her master instead. Her wish is granted - sort of - he duly returns but only at night and as a ghost albeit tangible when he wants to be. However, he helps her with her wish and together they go to London where she becomes Lady Alice courted and favoured by the Ton. Unfortunately she falls in love with the ghost…… Eventually, they get their happy ending - this is a love story/fairytale after all - but with limitations. Not one of her best but I enjoyed it.

I find M C Beaton's books quite infuriating, her plots can range from excellent to too obviously derivative but when she gets plot and characters right there are few who can match her in this genre. Although I first read her books in the 1980s, I must have missed this one (a lot are re-releases) and I really enjoyed it, especially as a lot of my guesses about the ending were wrong. I heartily recommend this one, the heroine is lovely and the hero does come alive (in more ways than the obvious) lovely lovely book.

Not up to the usual standard of her books .
Seemed to be a filler story rather than an actual book.
More suited to a magazine story .
Very disappointing

Silly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 3, 2018

So improbable and unexplained it was hard to engage with it. Pushed through to the end but no further explanations to add plausibility or round out the story. Silly fluff but not really in a good way.
