Score! by Jilly Cooper

Score! by Jilly Cooper

Sir Robert Rannaldini had two ambitions: to seduce his stepdaughter Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the film of Verdi's opera, Don Carlos. As the crew gather at Rannaldini's haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent feuds, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue.

I drew back in some alarm when told on its jacket that Score! was wildly funny, unashamedly romantic, terrifyingly creepyI pressed bravely on nonetheless, and found with surprise that Score! is indeed all these things and even more -- John Bayley * Spectator *
Absolutely wonderful, such fun and so busy and gossipy -- Penny Vincenzi
Has all the usual Cooper ingredients, fantastically attractive male and female characters, lots of extra-marital affairs and dollops of good humour, but there is a difference in this novel as it is also a murder mystery -- Linda Roberts * Daily Mail *
Romance, glamour, seismic sex and delightful comedy... this book is a slice of heaven: pure, blissful escapism -- Kate Saunders * New Statesman *
A deliciously funny, lusty, riproaring read with the added dimension of suspense and murder -- Sally Feldman * Good Housekeeping *
