I recently read Arabella , and i loved the humour in it so much! Which ones by her would you recommend?

Try "The Quiet Gentleman" by Georgette Heyer. Its the only one of hers Ive enjoyed, but I liked the humour in it, and the little murder mystery (although to be honest its easily guessed who the culprit is lol).

I'm not as familiar with her murder mysteries, which were contemporary at the time. I've read several of them but don't recall the titles ;)

the reluctant widow is a regency spy story.

and the talisman ring is a murder story (sort of), and my personal favourite.
