My review:?????
The Black Moth was Georgette Heyer’s first novel, and is a well written book, with lots of intricate plot, and characters who you enjoy cheering on or booing.
Jack Carstates is a highwayman, having been exiled by his family for cheating at cards, and lived abroad for years, but now he is back in England.
Diana Beauleigh is a beauty, and the Duke of Andover has decided that she should be his, and so arranges a kidnapping that a certain highwayman interrupts.
I’ve loved Georgette Heyer since I discovered her in my late teens. They are books that sweep you off on adventures, and always have some form of misapprehension about someone’s identity, or their intentions, and the Black Moth doesn’t disappoint!
The Black Moth was first published in 1921, and so this is the centanuary edition, which was published on 26th August 2021, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
Georgette Heyer wrote a great many regency romances, and also detective fiction, and so here is a link for her on GoodReads.
If you’ve been enjoying The Bridgerton TV series or books, then I would highly recommend you try Georgette Heyer!
I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Penguin Cornerstone.
