After being publicly humiliated and retiring to the country, Miss Evelyn Blythe returns to London with revenge on her mind. Instead of hiding away, she shimmers and shines, and plots her vengeance on those who wronged her. Her brother’s best friend is enticed by this new version of Evelyn, one who looks him in the eye, is confident and has sparkling conversations with him. However when her victims start to fall and he realizes what she is up to, he is disappointed and dismayed by her spitefulness. After her actions also hurt her brother’s romantic hopes can Evelyn make amends and regain the good opinion of those she loves? Interesting characters and the numerous cats make for some light relief.
