The Georgette Heyer List with Links to My Reviews

Pictured above are various editions of Georgette Heyer's novels on my shelf.

Georgette Heyer is touted as the Queen of Regency. And it is no wonder. Often compared to the caliber of Jane Austen, Heyer's writing is much more witty and she was much more prolific. She wrote about 40 Georgian/Regency novels, and several mysteries. Her elegant but comical style of writing won me over from the first read, and I feel so blessed to have finally discovered her, 35 years after her death in 1974. Picking up one of her books gives me great pleasure, and I have enjoyed reading about "dashing rakes" and her strong feminine characters are perfect heroines. Her romances are so fun, and everyone loves a good romantic romp from time to time, but Heyer does it with such grace and zero sex that they read like a diamond in the rough. If you have not read a book written by Georgette Heyer, and you either enjoy romance, or mysteries, Regency or Georgian eras, you are totally missing out.

This is Georgette Heyer's work in chronological order of original publication. She wrote historicals, regency romances and mysteries. Thankfully, there have been many reissues from various publishers over the years, but most recently Sourcebooks has reissued some beautiful editions.
