Teaser Tuesdays: Envious Casca

This week’s teaser is from Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer – an author more known for her Regency period romantic comedies. However, this book is a murder mystery.

However that doesn’t mean that quick wits and romance are absent from this book.

“I don’t write problems,” said Royden, in rather too high a voice. “And enjoyment is the last thing I expect anyone to feel! If I’ve succeeded in making you think, I shall be satisfied.”

A noble ideal,” commented Stephen. “But you shouldn’t say it as though you thought it unattainable. Not polite.”
