This devolves into a rather farcical search for a priceless antique "talisman ring," stolen from the murdered man but the rightful property The Talisman Ring Ludovic. The mystery is very slight and the plot stretches belief almost to the snapping The Talisman Ring, but the characters are funny and enjoyable and the dialogue is witty, especially some of the sarcastic exchanges between Tristram and Sarah, which is reminiscent of Benedick and Beatrice's sparring in Much Ado About Nothingthough without the initial anger. It's The Talisman Ring that they each have warrior-like last names, Shield and Thane. But they've each met The Talisman Ring intellectual and quick-witted match here: 'What would the lady go out The Talisman Ring for when it was almost dark? I went to meet Sir Tristram.

Whether it be a self-absorbed Justice whose appetites reign supreme, an indomitable smuggler, two spirited but The Talisman Ring less than valiant Bow Street Runners, a stouthearted innkeeper, an overly starched butler, a perspicacious and hard-punching young groom, or a sinister valet up to no good For those with more rarefied tastes, be assured that these are no simple country offerings!

I found this vintage Georgette HeyerThe Talisman Ringsimply exquisite with its humor and wit, smooth and agile prose, with amusing and intelligent dialogues. The mysterious plot is hilarious and full of wild adventures with smugglers, stupid Bow Street runners, an evil cousin and a malevolent valet. Attempted murder, midnight house break-in, and mayhem make for a fast and pleasurable read. The pair Sir Tristram Shields and Miss Sarah Thane despite their maturity, 31 and 29 years old, are still adventurous and simply delightful. But we cannot forget Ludovic Lavenham, the accused of murder impetuous heir, and Eustacie, the wildly romantic young French girl who runs away to avoid an arranged marriage. I found The Talisman Ring a great entertainment. Try it, you will love it! View all 4 comments. May 30, Bradley rated it really liked it Shelves: shelfhumortraditional-fiction. I don't have a shelf for Romance, but I'm thinking perhaps I ought to make one. I'm such a bad boy for ignoring such a huge genre. That's right. I just read Romance. I'm challenging myself. But, to be honest and fair, this is really more of an offshoot of the old Regency Romances and full of the whole comedy of errors that we all know and love. Too good to be true? Rich grandfathers, viciously maligned cousins, onerous duties, mystery, theft, and yes, of course, Marriage. Marriage is what bri I don't have a shelf for Romance, but I'm thinking perhaps I ought to make one. Marriage is what brings us here today. Oh goodness. Goodness, goodness, goodness I admit, I should have seen it earlier. That this is a comedy and it's light-hearted and most especially, it's very, very aware of itself, the conventions of all Regency Romance, and all the popular fiction of the day. The 30's obviously needed a some humor, and this definitely fit the bill, never going over the top and always holding true to the sense of mystery, miscommunication, happy outcomes, The Talisman Ring, of course, Romance.
