Product Description

Sir Robert Rannaldini, the most successful but most detested conductor in the world, has two ambitions: first, to seduce Tabitha, the ravishing nineteen-year-old daughter of his arch-rival, Rupert Campbell-Black; second, to make the definitive film of Don Carlos, Verdi's darkest opera. To this end he enlists the help of his charismatic French godson, Tristan de Montigny, the hottest director in Europe, who is capable of coaxing magical performances out of the most wayward and wooden prima donnas. As Rannaldini, Tristan and the entire cast insist on artistic control the recording is stormy. But this is as nothing to the ructions that occur when filming begins in Rannaldini's haunted fourteenth-century abbey. Disgruntled spooks, temperamental singers and histrionic set designers are now joined by a bolshy French film crew, determined to pull everything in sight, particularly the tempestuous Tabitha, while all the women - and several of the men - are determined to bed Tristan. To their disappointment, he is only interested in keeping the movie on track - until he finds himself increasingly attracted to Tabitha, which Rannaldini will not tolerate. Then the news leaks out that Rannaldini is writing his memoirs, revealing dreadful secrets about everyone, and from that moment his fate is sealed. Terrifyingly creepy and wonderfully mysterious, by turns wildly funny and unashamedly romantic, SCORE! is Jilly Cooper's most thrilling novel to date. It is also a story about loneliness in high places, and heroism and passionate love triumphing against the odds.


From the Back Cover

Sir Roberto Rannaldini, the most successful but detested conductor in the world, had two ambitions: to seduce his ravishing nineteen-year-old stepdaughter, Tabitha Campbell-Black, and to put his mark on musical history by making the definitive film of Verdi's darkest opera, Don Carlos.

As Rannaldini, Tristan, his charismatic French director, a volatile cast and bolshy French crew gather at Rannaldini's haunted abbey for filming, it is inevitable that violent feuds, abandoned bonking, temperamental screaming, and devious plotting will ensue. But although everyone wished Rannaldini dead, no one actually thought the Maestro would be murdered. Or that after the dreadful deed some very bizarre things would continue to occur.

Score! is Jilly Cooper's most thrilling novel to date. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Score! (Paperback)
I am afraid I agree with the lady who said that this was rather silly, whilst I am a massive fan of Jilly Cooper and devoured the last five (Riders, Rivals, Polo, the Man who, and Appassionata)novels with relish, I was extremely disappointed at the ludicrosity of the plot.
It starts off reasonably well, what with the Marriage of TABITHA CAMPBELL BLACK to her the son of her father's long time rival jake, ISA LOVELL, and the author depicts the relations between these and others well. There are some old favourites, such as Rupert, Ranaldinni and Taggie and Flora Seymour, but the author introduces a whole new array of characters and quite frankly, there are far, far too many to be getting to know properly.

Once the sinister air of foul play starts creeping into the plot, this is when things start getting ridiculous. I see the author's point - to keep the readers guessing as to who the murderer is - but the climax, when we finally do find out, is so ridiculous and completely unbelievable that you are left wondering what the hell that was all about....??

The "love Story" part of this book is also completely unbelievable, there is absolutely no warmth or chemistry between the two characters involved, this book is nothing like the magic that she has written before but, nevertheless, if you're on holidays and there's nothing else around, then it does while away a couple of hours.

Come on Jilly, you can do much better than that.

This review is from: Score! (Paperback)
I have read nearly every Jilly Cooper novel and I was slightly upset by the unfavourable reviews. While this book is different to Riders and Polo, it is still an excellent read. It is witty, wise, and great fun. Even if it is slightly unbelievable at times, I think it is wonderful. The characters are fantastic and i hope that one day i will be able to write such an exciting novel.
