A review by jennysjw
The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer
As a romance, this had potential but not enough development. Drusilla is a very unconventional heroine, and I liked her character immensely. I liked that their relationship was the heroine saving the hero! But there just aren’t enough scenes between the heroine and hero to build their relationship.
As a murder mystery, this was overly simplistic with an anti-climactic ending.
Several other small issues about this novel bothered me. Heyer’s politics were so particularly obvious in this novel. There is a significant amount of victiming blaming at play. And I found the side characters either boring or outright annoying.
