Rereading, because in the month of February, and having read two sobering books (The Road and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch), I needed something light and sparkly. And this is one of the sparkliest of the Heyer romances. Completely enjoyable, with a wonderful heroine in Sarah Thane, and handsome hero in Sir Tristram, this is more a mystery/adventure than a romance. Though, of course, there is that, too!

And Sir Hugo Thane is one of the great secondary characters in Heyer's universe. So, so funny.

I think this would make an excellent movie and I don't know why Julian Fellowes or someone like that has never tried it!
