Sylvester is read by Matt Addis, who appears in Doctors and Doctor Who.
Sylvester, Duke of Salford, is considering marriage.
Endowed with rank, wealth and elegance, Sylvester, Duke of Salford, posts into Wiltshire to discover if the Honorable Phoebe Marlow will meet his exacting requirements for a bride. If he does not expect to meet a tongue-tied stripling wanting both manners and conduct, then he is intrigued indeed when his visit causes Phoebe to flee her home. They meet again on the road to London, where her carriage has come to grief in the snow. Yet Phoebe, already caught in one imbroglio, now knows she soon could be well deep in another....
A typically wonderful historical novel, Sylvester shows once more why Georgette Heyer is the undisputed queen of the genre she created - the Regency romance.

I liked the performance but it was not as good as some of my favorite Heyer readers--Sian Phillips and Phyllida Nash, plus some others. I'm glad all the modern Regency enthusiasm has brought Heyer back into fashion but, although her books were written intentionally as light reading, they do have a lot of subtlety and reflect her amazing research into the period.
Possibly my favorite

So many of the female readers sound forced trying to do men’s voices, and the male readers sound ridiculous doing the female characters; but the narrator, Matt Addis is exceptional! He really brings every character to life both male and female, Lords, Ladies, and all the “commoners” as well.
Sylvester the Wicked Uncle is well worth the lesson, and I wish every one of her books was read by this excellent voice actor!
Matt Addis gives an exceptional performance of this pleasant audiobook.
