Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Devil's Cub is read by Michael Maloney, who appears in Coronation Street and The Trial of Christine Keller.

Mary Challoner must protect her sister at all costs.

When she discovers that the notorious Marquis of Vidal is planning to run away with her little sister, Mary will not stand idly by.

To save Sophia's reputation without destroying her own, Mary will take her sister's place - and once the Marquis sees through her disguise, he will be humiliated and forced to return her home.

But the irresistible Marquis is a wilder rake than even Mary anticipated, and her growing feelings for him are proving an unexpected complication....

Such a joy to finally have unabridged Heyer available in the US!

While this can be enjoyed as a standalone, it's even better if you read These Old Shades first. In fact it's book two of a four-part series. The narration is fantastic and the story is classic Heyer.

First Listen, Previously Read

I loved the written version of this 2nd novel in Heyer’s Alistair-Audley series, but the audio brought a whole new level of enjoyment to this amusing tale. The humor and the intense emotion were superbly portrayed here by the words themselves, but also as voiced by the talented narrator.

Perfectly captures it all!

A novel brimming with humor. I found it is such a true representation of life at the time. The regency period is so magical it is perfectly narrated and I am ever so glad of the newer version. Georgette Heyer is as witty as they come. Highly recommend.

The authors amazing gift for characterization and humor in her charming stories.

The voice of the actor who spoke Vidal's part was very appropriate. This is a charming little story which allows the reader to indulgently smile at the wit and humor of the situations Heyer weaves into the plot. I am able to relax and enjoy a few hours of light hearted fun as I read this story.

Heyer at Her Best

I love all of Heyer’s work. I like the Regency novels best. This book is part of a series but can stand alone. I listened to a sample of another reader and did not like how he made Vidal sound a little shrill. This reader did an excellent interpretation. I’m a fast reader and his pace was not too much slower than I read. I am eagerly waiting to listen to some of her Regency novels of which many are hilarious.

Where is Phylida Nash

The narrator made the book sound ridiculous at times. Mrs Heyer uses her language so beautifully that all extra dramatic sounds can be irritating.

Disappointed

This story lacks the wit and energy of most of Georgette Heyer’s stories. It is long drawn out, but still over dramatic. This flaw is emphasised by the performance.
