Historia
When the dashing Jack Carstares is unfairly accused of cheating at cards, he leaves the country in disgrace. Returning some years later disguised as a highwayman, his reappearance heralds a dramatic chain of events that includes a Duke, a damsel, a duel, and not one, but two kidnappings. Written when she was just 17, The Black Moth was Heyer’s first novel, but it bears many of the hallmarks of her later romances, being vivid, witty, and peppered with historical insight.

Historia
In an 18th-century England of wit, womanising and powdered wigs, provincial Philip Jettan runs the risk of irreproachability. Cleone Charteris stands in no such danger. The golden-haired, headstrong despair of men, she seeks a husband who can duel and dice with the best of them. So Philip leaves for Paris, where his father's hopes and his lover's ideals are realised, but with unforeseen consequences for them both.... A peerlessly successful and prolific romantic novelist, Georgette Heyer shows in Powder and Patch what won her a wide, devoted audience that continues to this day.

Historia
The story takes place in the 18th century, where fashion was very much a la mode, with silks, stains, and powdered wigs. Philip Jettan, a handsome and sturdy youth, is rejected by the lady of his dreams, Cleone Charteris, because he is not foppish enough. Encouraged by his uncle, Philip decides to go to Paris in order to learn the ways of a stylish gentleman. On his return, however, Philip wonders whether Cleone prefers him as he is - or as he was. Cleone in her turn, wonders whether Philip has really changed or whether he is putting on a front.

Not a good narration
I love the Georgette Heyer books., but struggled to make it through this due to the narration. It was choppy, the narrator struggled over some of the words. Timing was poor, so much of the drama & humor was missing. Also, background music through the whole thing was annoying.

Spare Yourself!
I gave the story three stars but, in truth, I am in no position to evaluate it since I found this rendition unbearable.
The narrator was annoying in the extreme: his voice and accent were extremely grating, and he sounded sarcastic, even when that probably wasn’t his intent. And he just read the story-no attempt at characterization or drama.
A piano played in the background throughout, without apparent purpose…
This recording was probably a work of love by an amateur. It needed a professional production.

Who is Responsible for producing this reading?
So sad that such a delightful and amusing story was butchered by an inappropriate reader who did not seem to reflect a genuine understanding and appreciation of Georgette Heyer.

Excruciating to listen to the reader
I love Georgette Heyer books and have read most and listened to several, but I was astounded when the reader was a gravely voiced man with a terrible American accent who could not pronounce most of the titles or the names, and murdered the French. I was so disappointed and I could not finish it. I will have to get the book to see how all things worked out.

Not well presented
This rating has nothing to do with the novel and everything to do with the recording. One of the anticipated joys of hearing a Georgette Heyer novel as an audio book is to hear the vernacular in which it was written. This version doesn't live up to my expectations. The narrator doesn't even pretend to put the story into context. I will return it as soon as possible.

Don’t buy this audio recording
I am a huge fan of Georgette Heyer. This review has nothing to do with the book. The audio recording is so terrible it is painful to listen to. Not professionally done at all. The reader has a terrible reading voice. You can hear him taking breaths to breath and lick his lips. There is awful, distracting music in the background. I couldn’t listen more than 10 minutes into the story it was literally too painful.

The narration is terrible
If the stupid background music would stop, I could probably try to listen but as is it was impossible
