Quiet Gentleman / Georgette Heyer 497 p.
The new Earl of Erth returns to his home after glory at Waterloo. There he finds everyone seems to have an agenda involving him. Marianne Bolderwood wants him. His half-brother seems out to get rid of him. His step-mother long thought her son to be the next Earl. Who knew that Gervase would return from the war unscathed. Only Drusilla, a very level-headed girl, is his ally. She has resourcefully bailed him out of several bad situations. Not to give away the entire plot, but this romance takes on a mystery turn when someone attempts to murder Gervase. Told with great humor...many places to laugh out loud and fun as Heyer is expert at.
