The Count’s Millions [EPUB ebook] 

The sequel to The Count’s Millions … and it is launched with a bang since the book was essentially just chopped in half when they published it in the U.S.the count’s millions A highly complicated plot, with cliff-hangers, intense back stories, very bad mothers and very good mothers … all of which made a very satisfying story. The author’s acerbic comments about society and personality types, still hold true today for the most part. Amusingly made and also used to move the story along.
