Explanation To Books Score! (Rutshire Chronicles #6)
Sir Robert Rannaldini, the most successful but detested conductor in the world, had two ambitions: to seduce his ravishing nineteen-year-old stepdaughter Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the definitive film of Verdi's darkest opera, Don Carlos. As Rannaldini, Tristan, his charismatic French director, a volatile cast and bolshy French crew gather at Rannaldini's haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent feuds, abandoned bonking, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue. But although everyone wished Rannaldini dead, no one actually thought the Maestro would be murdered. Or that after the dreadful deed some very bizarre things would continue to occur."Score!" is Jilly Cooper's most thrilling novel to date.

A slightly darker fic than the rest but just as enjoyable. The intrigue in this one was nail biting.The story takes a bit long to start, but once the action get going, you won't put it down!
love it love it love it - do you see a pattern emerging??? I love y Jilly Cooper books!!!
If you enjoy broad satire, have a bit of a clue about the British class system and are open to novels that lead you on goose trails with hijinks and shenanigans all the way to a neatly and delightful ending, you can't do better than Jilly Cooper. Her books are, to use the English expression, "a lark ", filled with high comedy, pretentious snobs, salt of the earth types, love stories, romps, successes and rightful devastation of the villains in the plot. The plot, however, is always so serpentine
What is the French for arsenic and strychnine? murmured Granny, who was pointedly ignoring both of them.Arsenic and strychnine, said Oscar, walking up to slot Gauloise into him jade cigarette holder. Malevolence is universal.The book was long, 789 pages, which is good for a novel. I like long books, because I read so quickly (all though, lately I havent been reading as much). But there were SO MANY characters. In fact, at the beginning of her books, Cooper does a character list. In this, there
Not the best Cooper book. The murder mystery felt very forced and none of the characters in this one were particularly likeable. Always good to see Rupert Campbell-Black, obviously!
Tristan, a young French director shows up to film a movie version of Don Carlos (the opera) but the usual sleeping around/backstabbing cast hijinks take a break when there is an actual murder. There is a love story that is late but welcome (Tristan/Lucy), a pairing I never thought would be cool but ended up awesome (Tabitha/Wolf) and it's always great to revisit the Campbell-Blacks but there is a lot that is wrooooooong. OK, not as much of a dud as Apassionata, but some of the plot developments
