About this audiobook

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, share 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.

Ratings and reviews

Another exceptional narration by Joe Jameson and we were constantly amazed that he could come up with another voice for another character! Just so wonderfully done! Georgette Heyer's period novels are complete entertainment and this is a particular favourite of ours. Kept us in a ripple of laughter throughout. Loved it!
