Praise for The Angel and the Cad

‘Geraldine Roberts elegantly combines the skills of an archival historian, immersed in original documents, with those of a talented detective sleuth, painstakingly following the trail of hints and clues to produce a compelling and utterly believable story from the past’

LISA JARDINE

‘A great story’

Observer

‘Fascinating . . . Roberts does an outstanding job of bringing this dark tale to life, and her book truly is a page-turner’

HALLIE RUBENHOLD, BBC History Magazine

‘Roberts leaves no stone unturned in telling this compelling tale of fortune and folly. She brings the Regency world to vivid life in describing the dangerous allure of a feckless man’

ELIZABETH FREMANTLE

‘Geraldine Roberts gives a compassionate look at two wholly disparate personalities and the wider society in which they span their elegant, and ultimately ruinous, lives’
