Title: Definitely not my favorite Heyer...
Review: This is one of the very few Georgette Heyer novels I hadn't read before, and also one of the two I didn't enjoy. The characters are very generic, the 2 younger women in particular having no particular traits at all. The police have no method, the officer also seems to have no real personality except an occasional feeling of annoyance. The love interest for the unmarried sister is completely inexplicable, odd considering the author's expertise in romance. I like some of Ms. Heyer's other mysteries, love most of her romances, and enjoy mysteries like the Peter Wimseys, older Agatha Christies and Ngaio Marshes, but I definitely do NOT recommend Footsteps in the Dark.
