Title: A thoroughly good read!
Review: This is another excellent Scarlet Pimpernel story from the pen of Orczy. It has all the usual elements - Chauvelin, Marguerite and of course the foppish Sir Percy.In this tale Chauvelin attempts to redeem himself in the eyes of the French Revolutionary Government by weaving yet another dastardly plot to capture the Scarlet Pimpernel; he seeks not only to destroy his arch enemy but also to humiliate Marguerite. As always though Chauvelin underestimates the cunning and brilliance of Sir Percy and the League of the Pimpernel.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book - it was exciting and romantic; although to the veteran Pimpernel reader the ending may seem predictable, Orczy manages to keep you in suspense to the very end. A very lucid book and one which is difficult to put down.
