About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Devil's Cub is read by Michael Maloney, who appears in Coronation Street and The Trial of Christine Keller.

Mary Challoner must protect her sister at all costs.

When she discovers that the notorious Marquis of Vidal is planning to run away with her little sister, Mary will not stand idly by.

To save Sophia's reputation without destroying her own, Mary will take her sister's place - and once the Marquis sees through her disguise, he will be humiliated and forced to return her home.

But the irresistible Marquis is a wilder rake than even Mary anticipated, and her growing feelings for him are proving an unexpected complication....

Michael Maloney's narration is just right, the voice characterizations were just right, this is a delight to listen to. I read all Heyers romances as a schoolgirl and have returned to the books many times since. I will definitely listen to this recording again and again.

One of my favourite Heyer novels and read many times, however, this is By Far the Very. Best. Audiobook Narration I have had the immense pleasure to listen to !
Michael Maloney deserves plaudits galore for this and I will certainly re-listen and look out for any other books narrated by this consummate actor.

Absolutely brilliant

This book along with the previous book These Old Shades are two of my favourite Heyer books, ones I can return to time and again.

Having recently discovered the joys of audio books I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it for a change. On first listening I agreed with a previous reviewer that the narration seemed rather fast, but I reduced the speed to 0.9 for my second listen and found it made a real difference. It was almost as if it had been recorded at this speed originally but speeded up slightly in production. Slowing it down highlighted the subtleties in the narrative where as they tended to blur into the whole at the original speed. Like the book It’s definitely an audiobook I will enjoy returning to time and time again.

Loved the story - wonderful romp and the narrator was great… but maybe a bit too mature - so his young girls voices all sounded a bit like raspy drag queens 😊 which was distracting

Great story… the next ‘Brigerton’ maybe 😊
