Lucia In London by E.F. Benson, Miriam Margolyes

3.0

Lucia is on the loose in London. Will the capital survive her onslaught as she tries to inveigle her way into high society? And what will Riseholme do about it? I've read these out of order so this is the last book before Lucia and Mapp finally meet and merry hell breaks out. This is fun and clever and a little bit meta in its own way. I like Lucia more than I like Mapp - possibly because she's less malicious. She's trampling all over you, but mostly because she wants to be at the top of the pile - not specifically because she wants to push you down if that makes sense. And this is presumably Pepino's final appearance in the series too - and he gets a bigger role than usual.
