This is the 16th Georgette Heyer novel I've read in five years so I am clearly among those readers who regard her as an inexplicably underrated master of her art. This was slightly unusual in its subtle romance and rather predictable mystery, but it was no worse for that: I had to read some passages several times to savour their delights. Some wonderful characters here too, as usual, not least the rather plain, rather boring heroine who (spoiler) charms her earl with her unfashionable brains and good sense.
