What readers are saying about The Reluctant Widow
\”Delightful and purely entertaining. The plot involves comedy, intrigue, espionage, cloaks and daggers, and things going bump in the night – served with a sauce of witty repartee that is the Heyer hallmark. Unforgettable.\”
\”One of my favorites!\”
\”A delightfully funny and mysterious romp.\”
\”Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen.\” – Publisher’s Weekly
