The Penny Nichols series by Camille Aubray begins with A Rather Lovely Inheritance (2007), in which Penny unexpectedly inherits a villa on the French Riviera from a relative she barely knew. As she explores the property and its history, she uncovers family secrets and finds romance. A Rather Curious Engagement (2008), A Rather Charming Invitation (2010), and A Rather Remarkable Homecoming (2011) continue her adventures.
The series has a cozy, escapist quality, with the French and English settings providing atmosphere and the family mysteries keeping the plots moving. Penny is an appealing protagonist whose curiosity about her family’s past drives each book forward.
