These Old Shades

I wanted something light and fluffy (I'm currently slogging through a 1,000 page book about Abraham Lincoln. It's good, but boy is it slow), and Heyer always fits that bill nicely. This was one of her earlier ones. It was pretty good, although I will admit I didn't like it as much as some of her others. 

The Duke of Avon is playing the long game when it comes to taking revenge on his old nemesis, Comte de Saint-Vire. He spies a young man on the streets of Paris who looks suspiciously like the Comte, and immediately buys him from his older brother in the hopes that his hunch was right. It was--and the story takes a lot of amusing twists and turns before arriving at the inevitable Heyer happy ending. It's a hard book to summarize without spoiling a lot.
