Read it here!
According to that infallible source, Wikipedia, The Black Moth was Heyer's first novel, published in 1921. It is not technically a Regency novel, being set firmly in the middle of the eighteenth century. However, it is very much in the same vein, and I find it a very fun read.
Heyer renamed and slightly recast the characters for These Old Shades, written five years later, and then Devil's Cub, a true Regency novel, in 1932. Devil's Cub (and particularly its hero) is high on most Heyer readers' favorites lists. ;)
So go read! I think you'll enjoy it.
