These Old Shades by Georgette Heyer
5.0
I don't know how it took me so long to discover (or be introduced to) Georgette Heyer. This was a slightly longer read and the pacing was a bit slow for awhile, but it picked up around the half way mark and then I couldn't put it down.
I think many of Heyer's books have been abridged/updated to remove some of her more dated opinions, but the idea of noble/peasant bloodlines being important still reigned heavily in this and other of her books. It's not something I particularly care for, but it is important to the plot of this one.
