gillothen 's review for:
The Toll-Gate
by Georgette Heyer
Entertaining Heyer with slightly more of an edge, as this is in some ways also a detective story, though solidly Regency. Not convinced by Nell's green velvet dress for the period, but it's full of all the familiar Heyer tropes: thieves' cant, cheeky urchin, foppish friend, loyal household servants. A charming fantasy and very much of its time in terms of social attitudes, but as enjoyable as ever.
