7 Series

Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) was a British author renowned for her contributions to historical romance and detective fiction. She is celebrated for establishing the Regency romance subgenre. Often compared to Jane Austen, Heyer's detailed settings distinguish her work from Austen's contemporary narratives.

Georgette Heyer's works include "The Corinthian," also known as "Beau Wyndham," which follows the adventures of the titular character. "Death in the Stocks" was alternatively published as "Merely Murder," detailing a mysterious murder investigation. "The Transformation of Philip Jettan" later appeared as "Powder and Patch," chronicling Philip's societal transformation. "Instead of the Thorn" was released under the pseudonym Stella Martin. These novels showcase Heyer's versatility in crafting engaging narratives across different genres.
