Loved the stories of the Alaistairs'. Hugh fan of Dominic in The Devils Cub, then read These Old Shades (his parents story). Gave The Infamous Army a try as it was Dominic's grandchildren and bound to be a good story. Most of this book is about The Battle of Waterloo, with many chapters devoted solely to military strategies etc. The Alaistairs storyline is a good example of Heyers usual wit, but like me you will probably turn over entire chapters to get to the next good part.
