Negative Positive
Title: A mystery-based Georgette Heyer
Review: Having read most of Georgette Heyer's regency novels, I was sad that I only had a few left to read and assumed the good ones were all behind me (Frederica, The Grand Sophy, Venetia, etc). So I was very pleasantly surprised to come across this one with a bit of the mystery/gothic novel about it. Yes, it was not hard to figure out the "bad guy" early on, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. The love story was a quiet one - which makes sense with the title - and that didn't bother me either. This book reminded me a bit of the Reluctant Widow, though not quite as good as that one. Like most of her novels, I would keep this in my bookshelf to reread in the future.
Is the review positive or negative?
