He has spent the last twenty years in exile under various names after leaving England in disgrace, and extracts a deathbed promise from Kit that she will seek revenge on those who he claims ruined him. The tale begins in the Dutch East Indies as Kit is caring for her dying father, who has been mortally wounded in a duel. "An Honorable Thief" by Anne Gracie tells the story of Kathleen (Kit) Smith. In one of these novels - I won't say which to avoid spoiling the story - one character finds that she actually is the person who she thought she was impersonating. In both novels the rightful place of the characters concerned may be higher than they realise themselves. If you're on that page please ignore references to "Miss Jesmond's Heir."īoth "An Honourable Thief" and "Miss Jesmond's Heir" have a common theme, that of central and supporting characters whose true identity may be rather different than at first appears to be the case. The two books it contains have also been published separately, and this review also appears on the page for one of the stand-alone editions of "An Honourable Thief" by Anne Gracie. This review was written for Volume 12 in the Mills and Boon "Regency Lords and Ladies" series, each of which contains two historical romance novels.
