Bath Tangle is read by Poppy Gilbert, who appears in The Pale Horse.

Serena Carlow's former love now controls her future happiness.

Serena Carlow's former love now controls her future happiness.

After her father's unexpected death, Serena's jilted ex-fiancé—the Marquis of Rotherham—is made the sole trustee of her wealth and marriage prospects.

Eager for an escape, she moves to Bath and encounters her childhood sweetheart, the dashing Hector Kirkby—but will Rotherham approve the match?

Before long, they are all entangled in a confusion of marriage and manners the likes of which Regency Bath has rarely seen.

Critic reviews

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

"I've read her over and over and over again." (Stephen Fry)

"Utterly delightful." (The Guardian)

All stars

I have read this novel many times over, and enjoy the characters,
particularly Mrs Floor, who is a feisty and delightfully non aristocratic grandmother. She is a wonderful foil to all The other high born characters and almost steals The show.
The title describes the plot exactly and this story is quite a Recency romp.
The narration does the book justice and is enjoyable to listen to.

At first I was unsure of this narration but I advise listeners to stick with it as I was very pleased by the end. I am amazed that Heyer could think up so many plots and often funny characters to continue to charm the reader. This is up with the best.

Excellent romantic tale satisfyingly long
