The Talisman Ring

 

by Georgette Heyer (read by Phyllida Nash ) c. 1936
an annual re-read
 
 
The Talisman Ring  By  cover art


Jealousy runs in the family
 
Wrongly accused and on the run, heir to the title Ludovic Lavenham must find the signet ring that will prove his innocence -- and fall in love with the ingenue along the way. 

I love when Heyer combines a mystery to be solved with a budding romance, or two.  This one has all the hallmarks of a GH romance -- melodrama, quirky secondary characters, laugh out loud dialogue -- with enough twists and turns in the mystery to entertain a broad audience of readers.

Not quite 4 stars
