Tragically left an orphan after her father's death, Kate Malvern is taken under the wing of her forbidding aunt Minerva and brought to the grand house of Staplewood, where Minerva rules the roost.
Her uncle lives in one wing, while her handsome, moody cousin occupies another; guests are few and far between, and even family dinners are rigidly formal.
But the sudden arrival of Cousin Philip throws Minerva's control over the household into doubt, and soon Kate begins to suspect the shocking reason for Minerva's generosity.
She has no-one to confide in but Cousin Philip who - for reasons unknown - seems to have taken an unaccountable dislike to her...
A rich and classic Regency Romance, Cousin Kate is replete with the sparkling humour, memorable characters and intricate plots that will delight Heyer fans the world over.

—— Emma Hagestadt , IndependentSzalay is certainly a writer to look out for... The writer [he] most puts me in mind of is a young Julian Barnes
—— Thebookbag.co.ukSzalay is immensely talented... [he] gets everything right: the atmosphere, the suspense, the inner lives of his characters. Absolutely superb
—— William Leith , Evening StandardIntriguing first novel... The narrative voice floes with wit and vigour...his debut ties author and reader in engaging knots that echo the tangled webs connecting the gossipers and photographers and their privileged fodder

—— Ben Bookless , Big IssueThe story of the ultimate celeb after-party, it's a knowing wink at publishing and celebrity culture - a high-concept first novel sitting just the right side of salacious
—— ElleThe Afterparty avoids smugness partly because it has more affection that vitriol for the culture that it mocks... It's very funny, but sad, too... Well-drawn characters, smart dialogue and a canny plot
