Oh, was this a fun read! Considered one of Heyer's historical romances, I'd argue it has a much stronger mystery plot than anything else (which of course makes me happy). Unscathed from the wars, Gervase Frant finally returns to his father's estate to claim his title as the new Earl of Stanyon. B...
'But this is Gothick, Frant, quite Gothick!' Unlike most of Heyer's novels, this is not primarily a romance, and it has a good deal of plot. That is probably why I enjoyed it despite having recently given up on Frederica. The protagonist is is less worried about who he will marry and more about who...
Another hit! Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed Heyer's witty writing and dialogues and her colorful characters.This has also quite hit home for me, personally. I know when something is just so emotional for me when I get a tingling sensation in my hands. And then my chest aches, and there's a threat ...
I am positive that there will never be a book by GH that I won't like. This one begun like the last one I read: slow; that is why I thought "hey, this one won't be like the others I read". Wrong. Gervase, Earl of St. Erth, comes back home after several years. His family, composed by his step-mother ...

I'm sure that this is a very good book... I was so looking forward to reading it. However, the only version available from my local library was the Large Print edition. And for some reason, it bugged the heck out of me trying to read the story in large print.It bugged me so much, that after a couple...
My second Heyer book was a bit different because there was a big mystery in it, still it was not one of her true mystery novel. There is romance, mystery and the stillness that is proper manners.First I was not sure about this one, mostly cos I felt Gervase was going after the wrong woman. Well I fe...
It seems to be the case that the Georgette Heyer I love the most is the one I'm currently reading. Having said that, I will also state that I found this story just adorable. The experience was enhanced by Cornelius Garrett's fabulous reading. I particularly enjoyed the voices of servants, from the s...
