Oh my! This was a lot of fun. I've read a handful of Heyer's historical romances, but this was the first mystery by her that I've read. I cannot wait to read more. It was extremely well written (of course), the four main characters were a lot of fun (especially Charles), and it had a wonderful dry...
Footsteps in the Dark by Georgette Heyer Locals claim The Prior is haunted and refuse to put a single toe past the front door. Left empty for years, and even their deceased uncle chose to live in a different house, far away from this particular property. But the ramshackle old house, with its ...
Three siblings (Margaret, Peter, and Celia) inherit a rambling old house in the country so they decide to stay there for a while to take advantage of it. So we have the siblings, their aunt Mrs Bosanquet, Celia's husband, Charles, and the Bowers (their help). Of course, the old house has a history ...
Not very mysterious but it has a Gothic feeling. **SPOILER** It was a bit obvious that Michael Strange was a detective in disguise, and that the Colonel was the Monk. Towards the end it drags a little bit.
I am a long-standing Georgette Heyer fan. I love her books. Her stories were always so incredibly well drawn, her characters unforgettable. She is one of the very few authors with many, many books in one genre who didn't have "types" in the sense of recurring schemes or personalities. And this cla...
for those fans of cozy mysteries, particularly the ones featuring goofy aristocrats stuck in an eerie mansion with murder in the background and light banter constantly in the foreground, please ignore the 2 stars. this is a 4 star book for you.so a group of la-di-da, fiddle-dee-dee upper class Engli...
While the plotting was a bit shaky the occasional witty turns of phrase and dilapidated English country house (that may be haunted) setting made this an audio worth listening to. The narration was done by Margaret O'Brien who did a good job of keeping all the different characters distinct.
Siblings Celia, Peter and Margaret inherited the Priory from their late uncle. It's old, a bit rundown and said to be haunted, but the trio decide to keep it. They along with Celia's husband Charles, their Aunt Lilian, and a pair of servants, move into it for a summer holiday. No sooner do they get ...
Yes, there were a few points that strictly speaking would weigh negative in raiting this book. For once it tooks ome time till the characters got enough depth to make them easily distinguishable. At the beginning there were just two men and two women and I had a hard time remembering who the married...
What a great, fun read! I was almost late for dinner out with friends because I didn't want to put it down until I reached the end. Great British humour throughout the story, really well blended with the mystery, the setting, the atmosphere. The ghost story was really done well too. I found this to ...
