I had never read this historical fiction novel and thought it might be somewhat interesting but maybe a little hard to understand. Although I didn't understand all the French phrases following the story line was no problem and I became very absorbed in the story and could hardly quit listening. I highly recommend both this book and the reader!!

I started out listening to the dramatic reading version of this book. but gave up because the audio quality was bad. so I figured I would try this version of the book, all read by one person. and a fantastic job she did! I am so glad, because this was a very good story. yes u can figure things out as it goes, but u still sit there and wonder what will happen to lady Blakely and listen intensely as the plot thickens. wonderfully written tale and again, a great job by the reader!

It is always wonderful to stumble upon a new well written book series, even better when the reader can tackle English to French with such immaculate fluency. These books have mystery, heroics, comedy, the best DANDY, and an interesting historical setting. Karen Savage does the works such justice! A few of the other books are read by others, hopefully you won't be the type to insult their well above average work just because we've been spoiled with Karen.

A Pleasant Surprise

Having enjoyed several books read by Karen Savage, I knew that this would be a story worth listening to. I was not familiar with the story ( apparently from have lived under a rock), and enjoyed it immensely! A bit of catching up on general history, some nice period details, a fairly strong and admirable woman character, and a clever bunch of characters over all. Very nice! Thank you!

This is the third or fourth time listening/reading this book. It is a cleverly and beautifully told story full of fantastic plots, daring characters, and true love, courage, and sacrifice. I would recommend it to any good reader and thinker. And the reader -- Karen Savage is the best reader I have ever heard. Her accents and intonations are beautiful and accurate. I can be never read Sir Percy without hearing her drawly, affected tones... Overall, a masterpiece!

If she is the smartest woman in Britain then there's not much hope for us! Though this was a lovely little book that reminds us of how we cling to our preconceptions about people and refuse to see the difference of our opinions​ and the truth when it comes to our friends and family.

I’ve been a fan of the Scarlet Pimpernel since I was little; my mom and I watched the movies and when I got my first kindle I started reading the books, so I’d already read this one when I found LibriVox. I love listening to Karen’s reading when I’m relaxing with my yarn and knitting needles (yes, I’m an old soul in a 20 year old’s body). Her pronunciation of the French words is really good and she reads at an even tempo. I hope one of the big audio book companies spots her. She’s a very talented reader

Amazing!

One of my all time favourite stories, absolutely brilliant!! Karen Savage does the most wonderful job reading, she portrayed all of the emotions and characters to perfection. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves adventure, romance and interesting storylines. You will fall in love with all the characters and immediately want to read all of the other Scarlet Pimpernel books out there.
