Recensioner i media

"Praise for Georgette Heyer's mystery novels:" "'We had better start ranking Heyer alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham'" San Francisco Chronicle "'Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended'" New York Times "'Sharp, clear and witty'" The New Yorker "'Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me ... I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word "Go"'" Dorothy L. Sayers
