Brought to you by Penguin. Kate Malvern never expected to see this kind of splendour again. After her father's death, Kate was left an orphan, striving to make ends meet as a governess until her aunt Minerva rescues her from poverty. Kate hardly knows what to expect at the grand house of Staplewood. Her uncle lives in one wing, while her handsome, moody cousin Torquil occupies another; guests are few and far between, but even family dinners are rigidly formal. And, over it all, Minerva's word is law. But the sudden arrival of cousin Philip throws Minerva's control over the household into doubt, and Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Minerva's generosity. She has no-one to confide in but cousin Philip - but for reasons unknown, he seems to have taken an instant dislike to her... Cousin Kate is a rich and classic Georgette Heyer novel, replete with the sparkling humour, memorable characters and intricate plots that have made her the queen of the Regency romance novel.

This mix of gothic horror, suspense, and romance is not comic as most other Heyer books are, but it has her usual flair for likable characters and gripping story. I like this but the horror-story element would allow me to recommend it only to those who like the genre.

Georgette Heyer
Georgette Heyer is a fascinating storyteller and she is always historically correct. Her Regency stories are spellbinding
