Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Action + Wonderful Romance
Review: This is the sequal to "The Scarlet Pimpernel." It is a truely wonderful book that any action lover would like. Chauvelin is as crafty as ever and Marguerite is as beautiful and devoted to Sir Percy Blackeney, her oh so fashionable dandy and wealthy husband. If you have seen A&E's version this is the book you will find closest to it. Good reading!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Scarlet Pimpernel does it again!
Review: What a great book! It's a worthy follow-up to the original, with plenty of excitement, loads of humor, world-class table-turning and narrow escapes.
