5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery, suspense and unexpected twists. Heyer at her best., 14 Aug 2001
This review is from: Footsteps in the Dark (Paperback)
One of the best crime novels I have read and the finest of Georgetter Heyer's crime novels. Set in a sleepy village in the English countryside, everything is not as it seems. Ruins, ghosts and inadequate but likeable local police all come to the fore in this gripping tale. Emminently readable and superbly written, this book will have you peering over your shoulder in to the shadows. One of the best stories Mrs Heyer ever concocted, and of course written in her own inimitable style, with plenty of wit and dry humour. Once you start, you will have difficulty in putting it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars spine-tingling enjoyment, 29 Jan 2008
Four young people have inherited a large old house just outside an English country village. Previous owners have not stayed in the house for long; and locals refuse to enter the grounds at night. There is even talk of a ghostly monk who haunts the grounds - classic stuff! Naturally, the new owners dismiss the stories as superstition at first. But then the spooky happenings begin, and they are at first annoyed, and then unnerved, as seriously scary stuff starts to happen. This is a most enjoyable read, which sent a huge shiver down my spine a couple of times. It does have the requisite murder, but this is only a small part of the mystery. The novel was written in the early 1930's, so don't expect any racy stuff - I think it is all the more charming for this though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good story, 16 Oct 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Footsteps in the Dark (Paperback)
This is a good read. It is written about people one could meet daily. Heyer has a nice sense of humour and the book is well planned.

It is a pleasure to read a detective story which is as wholesome as this - though there is of course the requisite murder!

More a mystery than a typical whodunnit, this moves along at a reasonable pace, is very amusing, reminiscent slighty of Scooby Doo, funnily enough. Read more
