It took me a long time to finish this mainly because I got distracted by real life. This is another of Heyer’s novels which less romance and more historical mystery and characters. The romance is established early on, and in a rare bit, I was satisfied with it that I didn’t care to know more. The tone of the book is interesting, and none of the characters are particularly wealthy. They are all interesting though. Not one of my favourites, but not bad.
