Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.

Vernon Alverstoke sees no reason to put himself out for anyone.

But when a distant connection asks for help, he is quickly plunged into one drama after another by the disorderly Merriville family.

Surprisingly, he finds himself far from bored - especially when he encounters their strong-minded daughter, Frederica.

However, she seems far more concerned with her family's welfare than his romantic advances...

The narrator gets off to a poor start by mispronouncing the author’s name.

These Penguin narrations of Heyer’s books are excellent. The actors used to read seem able to differentiate so well between the characters - and it can’t be easy for a male to voice several different females. This isn’t my favourite Heyer novel but was so well read it was still hugely enjoyable. “False Colours” next!!
