Book Reviews of DEVIL'S CUB
Book Review: My Favorite of the 18th Century Heyers
Summary: 5 Stars
I took the downloaded version on a trip and was absolutely entranced by the story. I had forgotten how much I liked this book. Heyer's characters are lively, her descriptions economical but always on point. Her secondary characters are often hilarious. The scene where Mrs. Challoner tries her inept hand at social blackmail, and Mrs. Marling tries to figure out what this apparently insane woman wants, is very, very funny as Mrs. Marling first takes Mrs. Challoner to be a dunning dressmaker and the two talk at lovely crosspurposes.
Now as to the narrator of the audiobook-- I thought he sounded very nasal. I can't recommend him as the voice of Vidal, although it was possible after a while to forget about the voice and just go with the story. The publisher though should have made an effort to get a good period actor who can do an 18th century voice for this one.
