Review:

[T]the dialogue among the characters is completely delightful... Georgette Heyer builds a wonderful and complete world for her reader to sink into like a bubble bath or a welcoming chair to relax you at the end of a busy day, but more fun. Much more fun. -- Lady Anne "Jane Austen's World" (05/12/2009)

Exciting and interesting from harrowing start to dramatic finish, Georgette Heyer's "Cousin Kate" was a delightfully dark and sinfully satisfying read. -- Rhianna Walker "Rhi Reading" (05/26/2009)

Filled with strange illnesses, intrigue, and a few murders thrown in along the way, this book is sure to please. -- Shawn Remfry "Maymay's Memos" (05/27/2009)

"Cousin Kate" was simply another great performance by this wonderful writer and it only makes me elated to know that there are plenty more of her books to read. -- Lilianna Swistek "Reading Extravaganza" (05/29/2009)

As Gothic novels go "Cousin Kate" has all the right elements. A menacing country house set on sweeping grounds, strange knocks in the night, locked doors, family secrets, and whispers of madness. -- Danielle Torress "A Work in Progress" (06/26/2009)
