I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It kept me interested right through. The characters were interesting, it was never boring. As it was set in different countries I learned about boating, castles ,slums and cultures.b There was plenty of drama not knowing if there would be prison sentences, conflict and romance. I always love reading Dilly Court books and this did not disappoint.

Set in London, 1875. Nettie Carroll and her father Robert, are on the run from the police. Robert is an artist and he was duped into making replicas of famous paintings by a man known as Duke. But Duke sold the paintings on as originals. This is where the adventure begins. We are taken to France, a trip on a barge and we even meet a Contessa. Nettie and her father struggle to earn a living. Robert draws people he meets in the street to try and earn them some money. There are some marvellous characters in this book. Dilly Court is a fabulous author. Her books are easy to read. I have read and loved all of her books.

I would like to thank NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and the author Dilly Court for my ARC in exchange for an honest review

A nice, lightweight romance that travels around England, France and Spain. An artist in the clutches of an unscrupulous businessman is copying works of art, supposedly being sold to the middle class as copies, but in actually being passed as originals. He, his daughter and a friend escape and manage to remain one step ahead of the police. All the while Nettie is writing her secret.

I enjoyed this book.

An enjoyable story but also well thought through from a social history perspective. I don't want to spoil but there is one area I would like to have read more about but this doesn't put me off the book.
I enjoyed the style of writing as it flowed easily.
