As usual, Heyer develops her characters thoroughly so we almost know them. A very unimposing companion to the lady-of-the-house makes only honest remarks and sometimes rather bluntly. She seems a very sensible young woman.
Relatives of new Lord show different faces after his arrival. After two attempts to harm or kill him (which the companion saves from the first), he realizes something is "off".
In the process of weeding out the culprit, the "Gentleman" and the "companion" share meaningful dialogue.
I always love the language that Heyer's books employ and in this particular mystery/romance, it was not an easy thing to figure out who the culprit was.
An enjoyable and quick read.
