..". A long-lost family heirloom, a young heir falsely accused
of murder, a band of smugglers, two utterly delightful Heyer
heroines, a taciturn, but highly resourceful older gentleman - all
play their parts in a tale funny enough to have you laughing
aloud."
Publishers Weekly
"One of Heyer's funniest Regency romances, and one of readers'
favorites."
An impetuous young lady and a fugitive nobleman
When spirited Eustacie stumbles into a band of smugglers, she is
delighted to be having an adventure at last. Their leader, young
heir Ludovic Lavenham, is in hiding, falsely accused of murder.
Pursued by the law, Eustacie and Ludovic find refuge at an
unassuming country inn.
And the delightfully sensible couple who try to keep them out of
trouble...
The resourceful Miss Sarah Thane and the clear-thinking Sir
Tristram Shield gamely endeavor to prevent Ludovic's arrest and
Eustacie's ruin as the four conspire to recover the missing
talisman ring that will clear Ludovic's name.
WHAT READERS SAY:
"A story in the manner of Jane Austen, of domestic comedy and
love affairs."
Times Literary Supplement
"A sparklingly witty book that had me laughing out loud."
"A perfect blend of romance, adventure, and, especially, humor.
One couple is young and brash and fun, and the other is older and
more mature. Seeing the older couple's relationship grow is one of
the story's highlights.
"This is a wonderfully rich novel, full of excellent secondary
characters with lots of charm and wit."
"Nonstop laughter from cover to cover probably because there are
two heroes and two heroines, and their chemistry with each other is
just sparkling!"
"Hilarious! A hallmark of most of Georgette Heyer's works is her
sense of humor her wit and comedic timing are at their best."
