One of the really good Heyer Regency romance mixed with a mystery ( )

Miss Morville is my favourite kind of Heyer heroine: quiet and competent. ( )

The Quiet Gentleman by Georgette Heyer: a re-read, although not on purpose. Gervase St. Erth returns home at last to take up his title after his father’s death. He is met by resentment on the part of his stepmother and half-brother, but things are not as they seem. A bit more serious than many of Heyer’s works. ( )

In the guide-books it figured as Stanyon Castle; on the tongues of the villagers, it was the Castle; the Polite World spoke of it as Stanyon, as it spoke of Woburn, and of Cheveley.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0373836848, Mass Market Paperback)

An unwelcome return . . .

Unscathed from the wars, Gervase Frant finally returns to his father's estate to claim his title as the new Earl of Stanyon. But his stepmother's resentment and his half brother's open disdain put a chill on Gervase's welcome. Now he must establish himself as the new head of the house . . . and ignore his family's rising hostility.

And a resented rival

Then Gervase's eye is caught by a lovely young woman -- the same woman already much in favor with his half brother. Now the brothers face direct competition as they bid for the lady's attentions. But as Gervase struggles to maintain a gentlemanly balance, he begins to find himself the victim of repeatedly cruel accidents. Soon it becomes increasingly clear that someone wants the new Earl of Stanyon dead . . .
