This won't be going on my to-read list, though I did enjoy the Heyer mystery I read earlier.Karen K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13483190930383406559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-24287196441717961442010-03-18T20:17:28.592-04:002010-03-18T20:17:28.592-04:00I had the same three frustrations when I read Heye...I had the same three frustrations when I read Heyer's Friday's Child for the Circuit. Or half read it anyway. The characters were so flat and boring I couldn't keep them straight or care about what was happening. I enjoy historical romances, so I had hoped to discover a new great author, but alas, not so much.Lindsey Sparkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03654365166738983077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-22753223681848044592010-03-18T17:19:05.638-04:002010-03-18T17:19:05.638-04:00Oh dear, that is disappointing.

Maybe there's a reason why! but I read my first Heyer mystery or the Classics Circuit and liked it a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298495631546915310.post-76395438510009101122010-03-18T16:21:37.110-04:002010-03-18T16:21:37.110-04:00I have long been a Heyer fan but have never tried ...I have long been a Heyer fan but have never tried one of her historicals, as I think she tried to become a "serious author" with them.

I ...Really interesting review - thanks for sharing. I have read a couple of the romances and never been impressed with them. I think that Heyer wrote too much for it to be really good if you know what I mean. It is the same with Jean Plaidy who also wrote historical fiction. <br /><br />There is also a biography of Georgette Heyer - but if I remember it is rather borning!<br /><br />Happy blogging<br /><br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.com
