Regency Buck

by Georgette Heyer Book 3 in the Alastair-Audley series.

First published 1935

Amazon

4.5(6,572)

Judith and Peregrine Taverner travel to London after their father’s death and discover that their appointed guardian is Julian St John Audley, Earl of Worth, a man Judith has already found intolerably high-handed. Their entry into Regency society brings them into contact with fashionable clubs, Brighton entertainments and the Prince Regent’s circle.

When Peregrine survives a series of suspicious accidents, Judith begins to suspect that someone is trying to control the Taverner inheritance. The novel combines romance with a mystery in which social reputation, guardianship and family money conceal a more direct threat.
