Orczy's heroes, like Heyer's, behave as women want their heroes to behave. A very satisfying romance!
A fun diverting read for those who enjoy her other books (eg Scarlett Pimpernel,etc)
While this is one of Baroness Orczy's lesser known works, it retains the intrigue and excellent style of her more famous works. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys her more famous works such as "The Scarlet Pimpernel".
I was surprised to find when I began reading this book that it is set in central Derbyshire. An entertaining read if not great literature but especially worth reading by those with an interest in this location.
