Devil's Cub is read by Michael Maloney, who appears in Coronation Street and The Trial of Christine Keller.

Mary Challoner must protect her sister at all costs.

When she discovers that the notorious Marquis of Vidal is planning to run away with her little sister, Mary will not stand idly by. 

To save Sophia's reputation without destroying her own, Mary will take her sister's place - and once the Marquis sees through her disguise, he will be humiliated and forced to return her home. 

But the irresistible Marquis is a wilder rake than even Mary anticipated, and her growing feelings for him are proving an unexpected complication....

"Georgette Heyer is second to none." (Sunday Times)

Quite one of my favourite Heyer books. Well read by Michael Maloney and most enjoyable. I am so very pleased to find that Heyer is once more being given attention. I really hope that eventually this title and These old shades will be filmed. Wit and wordage to delight in every chapter.

This was the best performance of a book I have yet listened to. I have been a fan of Georgette Heyer for over 50 years and have read all of her Regency romances many times over. Although Devil's Cub is not my favourite of her novels it has become one now due to the skilled, intuitive handling of the characters' voices by Michael Maloney. He not only brought them alive but the voices were just as I had imagined them when reading the book.
I laughed so much and it was a lovely experience.
A truly gifted narrator. I would love to hear him read more of Georgette Heyer's books.

Another excellent story from Georgette Heyer detailing the travails of Dominic, Lord Vidal the son of Leonie and her Monseigneur Avon. As usual full of wit and humour and engrossing without the need of sex.
As far as the performances were concerned they were patchy. The story gradually gained pace but sadly so did the narration and so many characters ended up loud and screechy. The high points were Avon and Rupert who were portrayed quite splendidly. The low point was Leonie (who had been performed so brilliantly in These Old Shades) as she had little of the French about her and none of the fun that was evident from the story and what one expected from her.

A shame about Leonie!

Wonderful story and characters. The narration might have been considered ‘over the top’ but I found it to be lively and engaging. Well done!

One of her best!

The narration. Very difficult to believe in individual characters when the narrator does not match the voice of each character. Leonie is French. Her English would be spoken with a French accent
