One of Georgette Heyer’s best romance/mysteries!

The Talsman Ring sparkles with romance, mystery, wit and humor! The narrator is excellent, The story and characters are very well done!

My most favorite Heyer

A romantic mystery of absurd proportions this is probably the best Heyer tale. I laughed out loud on my walks. The audio performance was almost perfect. Highly recommended.

Delightful

Some of the best dialogues I’ve encountered in years—funny, witty, and skirting the absurd!

Great plot, wonderful characters.

A masterful writer.

Laugh Out Loud Fun!!

Every Regency by Georgette Heyer is just a pleasure to read or listen too. I must admit, however, that I had a hard time getting into The Talisman Ring when I listened to it even a second time. But if you will just give the story time, Ms. Heyer will once again amaze you. Her ability to weave a story, added to which in this story are some great one liners, this becomes consummate entertainment. And add to this the narration by Joe Jameson and you have a winner. Few men narrators can do a truly good job of narrating women’s roles. But Mr. Jameson doesn’t just do a capable job, he does a fantastic job. His narration of Sarah (Miss Vane) and the French accent of the heroine are just spot on. And ALL the male voices are totally distinguishable one from another. And speaking of Sarah, I think she carries the story.. as she is just so “droll”. Any book written by Ms. Heyer and narrated by Mr. Jameson are keepers.

Rich characters

Nothing is to dislike - two thumbs up
The story is unpredictable and the characters as different from each other as possible - very entertaining

So delightful!!

I loved this book! As others have stated in reviews, the dialogue was witty and charming! Georgette’s books are timeless gems! ❤️

GH’s humor is outstanding!

This was the very first GH novel I ever read and didn’t care for it at all. That was years ago. It was the only one I didn’t like. I am so glad it was talked up so much on a blog that I gave it another chance. It is extraordinary. I literally laughed out loud many times. It is classic Heyer!

One of my favorite books!

This book is a fun and exiting story, and something I read over and over again!

Wonderfully fun

I had no idea what fun adventure I would have when I first picked up this book at a thrift antique shop! This was a really easy read and honestly quite funny! Everything about this book was great! I highly recommend this to anyone!

My favorite
