Order of Georgette Heyer Books
Georgette Heyer (1902-1974) was a British author of historical romance and detective fiction. She is best known for the creation of the Regency romance subgenre. Heyer is often compared to Jane Austen (whose novels are set in similar time periods), although Austen wrote her romances in contemporary times, whereas Heyer would have to detail the settings.
Georgette had her first novel published in 1921, which was titled The Black Moth. She is a prolific author, having at least one novel published each year for most of her career. Below is a list of Georgette Heyer’s books in order of when they were originally published:
