A dashing Regency romance from the legendary Georgette Heyer, founder of the genre. Captain John Staple's exploits against Napoleon's armies in the Iberian Peninsula have earned him the nickname 'Crazy Jack' amongst his comrades in the Dragoon Guards - but once the Battle of Waterloo brings the curtain down once and for all on the Napoleonic Wars, the boisterous, adventure-loving captain finds life in peacetime intolerably dull.

Story
Abigail Wendover has no time for love. She is far too busy protecting her niece, who has fallen madly in love with a suspected fortune-hunter. But her efforts become vastly more complicated with the arrival of Miles Calverleigh, the black sheep of his family - a reckless bachelor with a scandalous past. Abby soon discovers that, despite successfully managing her niece's love life, she has far less control over her own unruly heart.
Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
A witty and enthralling Regency romance by one of the best-known and most beloved historical novelists.
The legend of the Headless Horseman and a proposed marriage de convenance both have their impact on the mystery of a golden talisman ring and Lord Lavenham's young heir, Ludovic. Neither Sir Tristram Shield nor Eustacie, his young French cousin, shares the slightest inclination to marry one another, yet it is Lord Lavenham's dying wish. For there is no one else to provide for the old man's granddaughter while Ludovic remains a fugitive from justice....
Yet again, Georgette Heyer shows the qualities that made her one of the most successful and best-loved romantic novelists of her age, and why her popularity endures to this day.

Rene Artois and Julian Clary
It's a great story - it's Georgette Heyer, of course it's a great story - but the narrator is a bit of a problem. He's very clearly spoken, that's not a problem, but the voices he uses for two of the main characters is unfortunate. Eustacie de Vauban comes over as Rene Artois, and I keep expecting to hear about the 'Fallen Madonna with the Big...', while Sarah Thane absolutely is Julian Clary.
I'm enjoying it, there's no doubt about that, but I keep smiling at the wrong parts!

Another good version
One of my favourite Heyer romances. My previous recording was by Phylida Nash and is excellent.
I heard the sample of this one and decided I wanted to hear it read by a man. it does not disappoint. He has a nice deep voice that suits Sir Tristan Shield perfectly. The female voices also pass the test. I must admit that I prefer Phylida Nash voices for the various other characters in the book, but these are perfectly acceptable.
Enjoy a good listen.

Fabulous reading
I really enjoyed this reading. This is my favourite Heyer book and I absolutely love the reading by Phylidda Nash so I had high expectations! I really enjoyed a different reading and heard different aspects of the book. I enjoyed this narrator’s portrayal of Sir Tristram in particular as well as the Bow Street Runners very much indeed. The other one is probably still my favourite, just because the other narrator reads Eustacie so utterly perfectly but if you prefer male narrators this is the one for you. Both are worth buying. :)

A brilliant tale and well narrated
This is one of Georgette Heyer’s best romances and very funny. I already knew the story was great but I am nervous of the audible versions as not all the narrators are good. This one however was excellent with a great range of voices. A couple of questionable pronunciations but better than many and not enough to spoil the story.

An amusing adventure
I love Georgette Heyer’s historical romances and this one is no exception. A truly amusing adventure story with marvellous characters.
The narration by Joe Jameson was superb and really brought the story to life. His characterisations were spot on especially his portrayal of Eustacie. A joy to listen to.

more action than charm
only listened to this one with half an ear - it's more of a whodunit than your conventional Heyer- so for fans of Venetia, Arabella, Friday's child etc i wouldn't put at the top of the list!
