Apparently I have and thought it was okay but actually not gothic enough. I have to say, though, that I always go into Heyer books with low expectations so that I won't ever be disappointed. They aren't the best books ever written but they sure are fun!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-78245089462391734782017-11-03T13:27:08.666-04:002017-11-03T13:27:08.666-04:00I think I remember reading that she wrote this dur...I think I remember reading that she wrote this during a very stressful time in her life. I think it is the darkest of her regency novels, and certainly not the place to start if you have not previously read any Heyer.Michelle Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499490029910905577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-28704710628158074822017-11-02T16:55:03.716-04:002017-11-02T16:55:03.716-04:00Thanks for taking part!
