False Colours

[psocoptera]

False Colours, Heyer. Younger twin brother returns from abroad to discover older twin missing, tries to keep the plates spinning by impersonating him until he can be located. This one was lots of fun - we've got another careless and extravagant lady, but it's the mom rather than the heroine, which I found more palatable, the relatives in these things are always a little off in one way or another. (There's also another one of Heyer's Fat Smart Rich dude characters, this one an older gentleman friend of the mom - for me, I find Heyer's treatment of these fat characters pretty friendly and readable, feeling more like a genuine Regency "he's prosperous and likes luxury and sensuality" take on what fat bodies mean than modern moralizing fat hate, but there is some discussion of whether his body is attractive and whether he should diet, which some people might not care for.) I think this was the last one of the Heyer ebooks I bought in a big batch a couple of years ago; I'm going to need something else as fallback reading when my library holds don't pop in a timely manner. :/
