Scarlet by Jen Geigle Johnson

4.0

I enjoyed this fun retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel, this time with a woman as the famous fictional Pimpernel. The novel is full of action and derring-do as well as romance and humor. It moves quickly, keeping the reader turning pages to find out what is going to happen next. Yes, the plot gets far-fetched, and no, the characters aren't quite as developed as they should be, but still, SCARLET is an enjoyable romp that is entertaining and engrossing.
