Kin第一本阅读的英文原版书，以下是来自Goodreads的简介：

Noelle Tremaston's charmed yet unconventional life as the daughter of the infamous Desiree, darling of the London stage, comes crashing to a halt when her mother takes in a struggling ingenue and disaster strikes. Noelle flees to Paris where, on the eve of World War I, a bizarre twist of fate will lead her into unsolved mysteries -- and the arms of love.

Noelle Tremaston作为臭名昭着的Desiree的女儿，伦敦舞台上的宠儿，在她的母亲陷入困境和灾难性袭击时陷入了停滞不前的迷人但非传统的生活。诺埃尔逃往巴黎，在第一次世界大战前夕，一个奇怪的命运扭曲将导致她陷入未解之谜 - 以及爱的怀抱。

读者评论：

Victoria Holt was most assuredly the mistress of what we now think of as "clean" Gothic romance -- which is to say that there is some suspense, some romantic tension, and absolutely no sex.

"Daughter of Deceit" is no exception to the pattern. In this story, Noelle Tremaston is the adult daughter of Desiree -- a famous London actress. Desiree is well-known for taking in the proverbial waifs and strays, so she brings injured Lisa Fennell into her home. Lisa is an aspiring actress and Desiree gets her a job in the chorus. When Desiree dies under suspicious circumstances, Lisa (who had been her understudy) gets the lead in the show.

Noelle has fallen in love with Roderick, the son of one of her mother's friends. There are a number of reasons revealed why the two cannot marry; Roderick marries Lisa. Noelle goes to stay in France with family friends for a time, and then things *really* get complicated.

I enjoyed the book as a sort of "light read." Holt fans are sure to like it.

维多利亚霍尔特最确定的是我们现在所认为的“干净”哥特式浪漫的情妇 - 也就是说有一些悬念，一些浪漫的紧张，绝对没有性别。

“欺骗之女”也不例外。在这个故事中，Noelle Tremaston是着名伦敦女演员Desiree的成年女儿。 Desiree以吸引众所周知的流浪儿和流浪者而闻名，因此她将受伤的Lisa Fennell带回家。 Lisa是一位有抱负的女演员，Desiree在合唱团中找到了她的工作。当Desiree在可疑情况下去世时，Lisa（曾经是她的替补）在节目中取得领先。

诺埃尔爱上了她母亲的一个朋友的儿子罗德里克。有两个原因揭示了为什么两个人不能结婚; 罗德里克与丽莎结婚。 Noelle和家人一起去法国待了一段时间，然后事情真的变得复杂了。

我喜欢这本书作为一种“轻读”。霍尔特球迷肯定会喜欢它。
