About this listen

The excesses of the young Marquis of Vidal are even wilder than his father's before him. Not for nothing is the reckless duellist and gamester called "the Devil's Cub". But when he is forced to leave the country, Mary Challoner discovers his fiendish plan to abduct her sister. Any only by daring to impersonate her can Mary save her sibling from certain ruin.©2003 Georgette Heyer (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

Following on from These Old Shades

Quite a good book, but if you have read These Old Shades, then the story is virtually the same just with The Dukes son as the main character. I think not quite as good as the first book, but still ok.

The very best of Georgette Heye

This is a rip roaring tale of romance heroism and human values. You will want more more more as you are transported into regency times with coaches powered wigs card playing and routes. The story follows Vidal’s exploits in the Alistair family. Characters are endearing and the story unfolds in often funny and unexpected ways. A fabulous read to which to will return again and again over the years.

Voices painful.

I enjoyed the story but not half of the characters voices- straining to understand some of them.

These Old Shades & Devil’s Cub are her best works

These Old Shades & Devil’s Cub are the only two novels which follow on the story of the one aristocratic family. And I wish there were more. The characters are brilliantly brought to life with Heyer’s best repartee & stories. No other leading men have their charismatic flaws & strengths. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
All her novels are entertaining but these two stand above & always will. Her other novels are delightful but lack the brilliance of language of these two, which have lost none of their wit over time.

Lots of fun. A follow on from These Old Shades.

I didn't like the way narrator depicted Vidal...but everyone else was spot on. one of my favourite Heyer novels.
