Oh, but they're romance novels for people who hate romance novels (such as myself).

Me three. I was reading some of the Amazon reviews that were saying basically the same thing, that the romances were just a framework for comedy. I really enjoyed the comedy in
Footprints in the Dark. The mystery was okay and it was obvious who the "villain" was, but the humor was LOL funny. Thought I would try one of the romance titles just to see.
Also, here's another one that's supposed to be a mystery (historical), even though it's not listed as such:
Quiet Gentleman
Quote:
Less than a hero's welcome...
Returning to his family seat from Waterloo, Gervase Frant, seventh Earl of St Erth, could have expected more enthusiasm for his homecoming. His quiet cousin, stepmother, and young half-brother seem openly disappointed that he survived the wars. And when he begins to fall for his half-brother's sweetheart, his chilly reception goes from unfriendly to positively murderous.
One of Heyer's most suspenseful Regency romances, The Quiet Gentleman combines an ingenious mystery plot with her signature witty style and effervescently engaging characters.
