Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the characters created by E F Benson, Tom Holt chronicles the latest knavery of the duelling Mapp and Lucia, providing the comedy of manners and social climbing we have come to expect from the two characters. In Lucia Triumphant, the village of Tilling is hurled into social warfare as Lucia contends with Elizabeth's latest ruse -- in the form of a Monopoly game -- for the hearts and minds of the town populace. Is Lucia haunted by ghosts? Will she triumph in the face of a royal visit? And, is Mapp of noble blood -- or of criminal heritage?
