Yep, this was a one day read. I had a long (and it turns out tense) series of flights with a connection. I knew I was almost done with another book. This one came through spectacularly in keeping my mind diverted from the chance I would miss my next flight! It is Heyer’s first book - written for her brother. I enjoyed it as I would a beach read - except these regency books are so much cleaner and crisper!
