About this title

Synopsis

On becoming the 7th Earl of Stanyon, Gervase returns from abroad to take possession of his inheritance only to find a family hostile to his intentions. Strange accidents happen, especially after he begins to rival his brother for the affections of the beautiful Marianne Bolderwood.

Review

"Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to" (Katie Fforde)

"My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours" (Margaret Drabble)

"A writer of great wit and style - I've read her books to ragged shreds" (Kate Fenton Daily Telegraph)

"Sparkling" (Independent on Sunday)

"Geogrette Heyer is unbeatable" (India Knight)
