About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Vernon Alverstoke sees no reason to put himself out for anyone.

But when a distant connection asks for help, he is quickly plunged into one drama after another by the disorderly Merriville family.

Surprisingly, he finds himself far from bored - especially when he encounters their strong-minded daughter, Frederica.

However, she seems far more concerned with her family's welfare than his romantic advances....

Critic reviews

"Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes.... Utter, immersive escapism." (Sophie Kinsella)

"I could mainline Heyer's Regency romances until the end of time and still not get bored.... Georgette Heyer is perfect lockdown escapism." (India Knight)

"One of my perennial comfort authors. Heyer's books are as incisively witty and quietly subversive as any of Jane Austen's." (Joanne Harris)

Frederica is one of my favourite Heyers. I own the old audio version but I feel the narrator's performance of the main male character makes him sound positively ancient! This new one fares better with a narrator who, despite the mis-pronunciations that seem to blight these new versions, gives an overall performance which balances them out. It's an easy listen and thoroughly enjoyable. Sadly, overall I have been very disappointed by the new Heyer recordings and have found many of them far inferior to the earlier versions. Thankfully I purchased all the ones I wanted before they were removed from Audible.
