About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
When Gervase Frant, Seventh Earl of St Erth, returns at last from Waterloo to his family seat at Stanyon, he enjoys a less than welcome homecoming. Only Theo, a cousin even quieter than himself, is there to greet him - and when he meets his stepmother and young half-brother he detects open disappointment that he survived the wars. But the dangers of the Lincolnshire countryside are quite different to those of the battlefield.
Georgette Heyer was the most successful and best-loved novelist of her day and The Quite Gentleman displays all the skills which won the hearts of her large and enduring audience.

Great narration of a Heyer classic
One of Heyer’s best regency novels, and one of the better Heyer audiobook narrators. Highly recommend!

Excellent Narration
Agree with the previous reviewer. This is an excellent narration by James MacCallum. He really understood the story and brought all the characters to life. It was funny, witty and kept you guessing. Shows Georgette Heyer at her best.

Beautifully paced and written with well drawn characters. Funny and touching with a mystery to boot.

Excellent narration
This is an excellent narration by James MacCallum of a superb Georgette Heyer novel. MacCallum manages to give different voices to the large cast of characters - quite a difficult feat when many males of the same social standing frequently converse together. And there are are no shrill female voices - something which often mars these narrations. One of my favourite Heyers made even more enjoyable by this rendition.

A favourite story, very well done
The Quiet Gentleman is one of my favourite Georgette Heyer books, and it was a pleasure to hear it narrated so well. The narrator handles the different characters voices well, and the occasional regional accent complements the story rather than detracts or distracts.

An entertaining Tale
One of my favourite Georgette Heyer novels with an excellent and entertaining narration. Seemed to be over much too soon.

A charming comedy
Not Heyer’s best, but an extremely good performance by James MacCallum. It was written at a time when Heyer was still mastering her skills but is nonetheless a delightful read
