About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

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....

An old favourite from teenage years, this version is beautifully read and surprisingly new when hearing it instead of reading. I love the story.

This is a fabulous story written with Witt and the narration is excellent. I was chuckling with enjoyment. A thoroughly rakish hero and noble entanglement.

A ripping yarn

What an excellent narration! The voice of Vidal was to die for! I just wish the narrator had given Leonie her delightful French accent.

Love the story

Wonderful reading, even with a couple of mistakes that only someone who has read the book 20 times would pick up. So very satisfying. Brilliant reading.

Vidal’s voice is perfect

This, one of my favourite of Georgette Heyer's novels, was utterly ruined for me by Michael Malone's appalling reading of it. He showed no knowledge of the fact that this was a sequel to 'These Old Shades'. If I didn't know, I wouldn't have guessed that the main female character was French, as he read all the female characters with little differentiation among them. This was the very worst of all the Audible productions I have listened to. Each time I think about the complete lack of understanding shown by this reading it makes me grit my teeth! A truly awful effort all round from Audible.
