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)

A joy throughout

A hugely enjoyable Regency romp from Georgette Heyer. This one really gave the true feeling of that era with superb descriptions of dress, manners, personages and locations. As with most of her books there was huge wit and humour.
The narration by Jasmine Blackborow was excellent with each character having their own quirks. It was a joy to listen to.

1st novel I read & still so enjoyable

Georgette Heyer never disappoints & this narrator does her proud! Will look for more by her.

Brilliant narration

One of my favourite stories and narrations. Great male renderings by female voice especially Lord Worth.

Really excellent audio book

I've read this book a few times over the years and always liked it but never had it up amongst my favourites of Heyers... until now. The audio version really brought out the spice and the tension between Worth and Judith's interactions. I will definitely re-visit this again and again.

So much fun

A pleasure - romance, intrigue, humour - and superbly read by a lively and skilled actress who was clearly enjoying it too. Loved it. Uplifting!

Especially good

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!

Fantastic story

This is a brilliant story and apart from one thing superbly narrated. The only thing wrong is the pronunciation of phaeton. It’s pronounced fay-ton not fighton. Did start to drive me a bit loopy in places.
