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

A lovely story with great characters. Well read and only let down by the mispronunciation of phaeton.

Excellent storytelling

This narration is 100% better than the previous version I have from Audible. ( I did not know I could return that one until it was too late). Never listen to it other than to see if its as bad as I thought it was!
As this is one of my favourite GH books I have been waiting for a new version to come out. I agree with some other reviews that the narrator has got some of the pronunciations wrong, (phaeton being the worst) which is VERY annoying, but overall this copy is good.
The narrator has a good voice and tone and is easy to listen to.
This book was probably one of the first GH I read, and the banter between Worth and Judith all the way through is delightful and understandably annoying to Judith. But it gives the book a constant theme that's enjoyable to follow. And when Worth shows his true colours at the end its my: always looked for happy ending. It would get a 5 rating if she had not got the phaeton correct!

Much better narration than previous version

Witty, entertaining ,very well constructed, one of Heyer’s best. Narrated with style and verve. The hero’s ’voice and characterisation especially good. Highly recommended. The pronunciation of ‘phaeton’ didn’t worry me as I haven’t a clue as to the correct pronunciation!

Especially good
