Title: A Romantic Mystery
Product review: The Talisman Ring is one of Georgette Heyer's better novels, mixing her wonderfully humourous characters with a touch of mystery. Georgette Heyer once again shows her skill at making minor characters "come alive". The plot is intricate and fun, as our four major players try to solve a murder, and recover the Talisman Ring. The novel moves at a rolicking pace and is amusing from start to finsh. Sarah (Sally) is one of G. Heyers more mature heroines, with a mad sense of the ridiculous that constantly gets her into trouble. This novel has runway heroines, tumbrils, smugglers, secret passages, dashing heros, slimey villains and of course that essential to all period romances the "headless horseman". All in all a very light-hearted, enjoyable read. A classic Georgette Heyer.
