Summary: A Very Nice read!
Review: Three years after the storming of the Bastille, Celie's baby is found dead in his crib at the home of her friend Amandine. When Celie finds out that Amandine had in fact left the baby so that she may bed with her lover Georges, she plots revenge to repay the couple for their negligence. She sets out to have Georges arrested and guillotined as a traitor. Her plans seem to be going well until they completely backfire on her placing everyone including herself in mortal danger.This is my first experience with Anne Perry, and contrary to some opinions here, I quite enjoyed it. I don't think it is healthy to box a writer into a corner when they produce something different. So what if this is not vintage Perry. Her writing is still flawless. I felt as if I were transported to 18th Century Paris and learned quite a bit about life during this chaotic and terrifying time. She's is obviously a very gifted and talented writer who had something different to share with us this time. I don't think that in and of itself makes her writing less efficient. I definitely feel confident now about buying her other books. Cris
