This is definitely along the same lines as a Georgette heyer novel. I thought it was remarkably well done. The witty and funny dialogue or lack of it. The thoughts by our heroine (Philadelphia) are great. It has a bit of romance, charm, a daunting hero, mysteries of attempted murder etc. I can't believe it was from 1977. The attempts of dealing with dementia now and in the past was touching. What a challenge and a worry. I could relate. This is a wonderful book for anyone that enjoys a Heyer type book - romance and mystery.
