Richard and Emma, the two main characters in 'The Wicked Wager', are very appealing, and so too are the secondary characters and their developing romance. The mix of misunderstandings, disguises and artifice is done in an amusing way, particularly in Richard's awakening to what it is really like to be a servant. The end of the novel suggests a sequel with another interesting, amoral character.
