A cosy 1930s murder mystery written with a sense of fun. I loved Randall and his witty one-liners and the diabolical aunts. The plot was less of a feature than all of the family intrigue (possibly too many characters?) but came together with a nice solution at the end. A good escapist read.

I took this Georgette Heyer off the shelf today (but then had to check Goodreads to see if I‘d already read it 😆).

It‘s hard to pick a favorite Heyer, especially between the mysteries, but this one may be it!

This was SO MUCH FUN. I loved Miles & Abigail—their banter, humor, and romance, as well as the contrast & balance that becomes apparent between these two such well-matched characters. Heyer just gets everything right: Abigail‘s pitch-perfect near-caricature relatives—lovable and infuriating by turns—a surprising but thoroughly appealing male love interest, and comeuppance where it is due. ⤵️

I think this is a lesser known Heyer, but for me it is up there with the best of them. Romance, comedy and great characters. Totally delightful, but have you ever seen a less appropriate cover for a Heyer @LeahBergen ?

This has been my handbag book over the last few weeks. It is a lot of fun, particularly the antics of Frederica's younger brothers, & I enjoyed the romance too. I can see why it's a lot of people's favourite Heyer, but it hasn't replaced The Grand Sophy in my affections.

I do enjoy Heyer's mysteries. Always bright and sparkling dialog and lots of humor in characterization.

Thank you for the kind comments and good wishes for my recovery from surgery. I've had a couple of set backs but am finally really beginning to see some progress. I've still got a way to go. I tire extremely easily and everything seems difficult to do, but I can see my progress so am feeling more positive.
