4.0 out of 5 stars Suspense and betrayal around every corner..., June 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: I Will Repay (Hardcover)

Imagine falling in love with the one person whose life you've sworn to destroy. That's the story of Juliette Marny in this thrilling continuation of the SP series. Having taken a blood oath to avenge her brother's accidental death, Juliette betrays the popular Citizen-Deputy Paul Derolede only to discover that he is the only man she will ever love. Of course, our favorite hero, Sir Percy steps in to help Juliette out of her jam when all hope seems lost. But will our elusive pimpernel acutally succeed this time? This book contains page after page of suspense you won't want to put down!

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost as good as the original, August 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Will Repay (Audio Cassette)

Although Percy only appears briefly in this book, Marguerite only as imagined by Percy, and Chauvelin not at all, this book is definately worthy of it's predicessor. A young girl is bound by an oath forced on her by a mentally unstable father to avenge the murder of her brother in 1783. Ten years later, her intended victim rescues her from a mob and she secures the oppertunity to denounce her sworn enemy to the Committee of Public Safety, only to discover that she has fallen in love with him. This book only lacks one thing the rest of the series has: Chauvelin.

This review is from: I Will Repay (Hardcover)

This book is great for a few reasons, namely that it focuses more on someone OTHER than the Pimpernel (don't get me wrong -he's cool, too, but it's not really his story).

This time, SP is only a help in a story where Juliette Marny (the heroine) is determined to right a wrong done to her brother (alas, deceased). When the opportunity comes, she takes it, only to find that she has fallen for the man she swore to bring down. So does it work out?

It all takes a little thinking, some tender memories and lots of pluck from Sir Percy, our heroine and her beloved, with Chauvelin and the revolutionary tribunal on their heels to make a great read.
