Description
Book SynopsisAuthor of over fifty books, Georgette Heyer is the best-known and best-loved of all historical novelists, who made the Regency period her own. Her first novel,
The Black Moth, published in 1921, was written at the age of seventeen to amuse her convalescent brother; her last was
My Lord John. Although most famous for her historical novels, she also wrote eleven detective stories. Georgette Heyer died in 1974 at the age of seventy-one.
Trade ReviewWe had better start ranking Heyer alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Yet and Allingham * San Francisco Chronicle *
Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended * New York Times *
Sharp, clear and witty * The New Yorker *
The wittiest of detective writers * Daily Mail *
