Venetia
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
Classic regency romance.
Read this novel and you cannot help but notice how many truly feeble Heyer imitators are out there. Welcome to the original gold standard. This charming Regency romance concerns beautiful spinster Venetia Lanyon and dissolute rake, Lord Jasper Damerel. Venetia ...
Arabella
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
Light romance, with a lot of humourous moments
Another Heyer favorite of mine (of which I have many!LOL), this story chronicles the escapades of Arabella. She is the eldest daughter of a vicar in the countryside, with 7 other siblings, and she has just received notice from her godmother in London that she will be ...
Old Sins
Penny Vincenzi
ARROW (RAND), 1990
A Great Discovery
What a wondeful day it was when I discovered this wonderful author. Old Sins was my first reading by her and I throughly enjoyed the characters and the mystery attached. Since then I've read all of her books and I'm now in the middle of her current one No Angel. Old ...
Two for the Lions
Lindsey Davis
ARROW (RAND), 1999
Probably the Best Yet
This is the tenth novel in the mystery series featuring Marcus Didius Falco, an informer and sleuth in Rome at the time of Vespasian. A series of books that have become hugely popular, so much so that the author is now at the forefront of historical mystery writers. It ...
Foundling
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
The Foundling
Another Heyer gem! Adolphus Gillespie Vernon Ware, the Duke of Sale, is tired of all the pompous trappings of his position. A mild mannered and kindly young man, he's also tired of being treated like a semi-invalid child by his family and retainers alike. Longing for ...
Black Sheep
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
Inspired comic dialogue
First, I must say that when Georgette Heyer is good, she's incomparable. And the two wittiest dialogues I have ever read are in The Black Sheep and The Reluctant Widow. At some point in each of these books, a man and woman are carrying on a discussion about two ...
Frederica
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
delightful read!
Never read or heard of G. Heyer until recently and Frederica was my introduction to this most talented author. This a sweet and fun story about finding unexpected love in the midst of family upheveal. The dialouge is hysterical. I laughed out loud on several occasions. ...
Monster of Florence
Magdalen Nabb
ARROW (RAND), 2005
Degradation Redefined
Though "Monster" is a careful analysis of a series of yet unsolved serial murders of young lovers, a lovers' lane pathology, the principals in this story defy all the perameters defining the depths of human degradation. If you don't mind feeling the need for a shower ...
Balkan Trilogy
Olivia Manning
ARROW (RAND), 1992
Raw Spirit
Iain Banks
ARROW (RAND), 2004
Great crack!
Reviews are matters of personal opinion, so the other reviewer (only one as I write this) is welcome to his/hers. But I think he/she kind of missed the point of this book. This isn't supposed to be a Michael Jackson review of single malts, though I have to say I like ...
Rose Revived
Katie Fforde
ARROW (RAND), 2003
Fforde's First Was Her Best
It's hard to compare Katie Fforde books, because they are ALL so absolutely delightful, something like a delicate sherbet after a meal of lambchops! But "The Rose Revived," which was the book that catapulted her to fame, is just wonderful. Highly reminiscent of one ...
Bath Tangle
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
different... in a good way
I've noticed that my favorite Heyer books have all depicted men who need to grow in some way-- the selfish man, the immature man, the disgraced man, etc. This book is different, in that it centers around a heroine who needs to change. Serena is self-centered, ...
Reluctant Widow, The
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
One of my favorites by Georgette Heyer
I have been reading and collecting Georgette Heyer novels since I was 18. I actually discovered them by accident in a used bookstore where my older brother had a job. (One must patronize establishments where family members are employed.) I have loved her novels ...
Breaking Vegas
Ben Mezrich
ARROW (RAND), 2006
A helluva good story!
This book claims to be a true story of Semyon Dukach, who bested the world of casino blackjack. Could be true. Maybe it isn't. Doesn't matter. It's a helluva good story about some MIT students who followed a mentor with a new and not illegal system of beating the odds ...
Faro's Daughter
Georgette Heyer
ARROW (RAND), 2004
Review of the Audiobook Version-- A Listening Pleasure
This is one that is probably going to have to come from a library. It was originally a Chivers production, then Chivers was bought by BBC and now does not show as available on the BBC America audiobook site. Honestly, if an audiobook has already been produced ...
