About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Beautiful heiress Judith Taverner has her pick of London suitors.

But her luck takes a turn for the worse when her hapless brother, Peregrine, becomes the target of a would-be-assassin.

To Judith's great annoyance, their mysterious guardian - the handsome Earl of Worth - seems far more intent on wooing her than saving her brother, but all is not as it seems....

When the truth is revealed, Judith will finally discover if the earl is after her money or her heart.

Critic reviews

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

"Fabulously witty." (Stephen Fry)

"Once you step into her world, you won't look back." (Katie Fforde)

Enjoyed listening to this. Very good narration - intonation, character voices, and speed appropriate to the story. Only noticed one mispronunciation - of the word phaeton. This did not detract from the overall narration. GH overdid the historical details about clothing, transport, prize fighting, geography and decor in this book. Some of the later books have better character development and just the right amount of historical detail.

Enjoyable, very good performance by the narrator

What a horrible world Heyer's characters inhabit! She has a gift of portraying the dystopian horror of 19th century England with a light touch, and the narration is excellent.

Dystopian
