Re: I love Heyer's Regency and 18th-century novels so much

Her mysteries are a really mixed bag (for me). I think Envious Casca is BRILLIANT, and I love The Unfinished Clue--I even quite like Duplicate Death, except for the horrible caricature of homosexuality (Oh Georgette Heyer no!). The others are mostly just meh.

Her non-romance historicals don't do a thing for me, beyond the respectful "you really researched the snot out of this, didn't you?"

And Penhallow was just bad.
