The Scarlet Pimpernel Report by Simone Peironnet //The Scarlet Pimpernel//, by Bareness Orczy, takes place in Paris, France during the 1700’s. The two main characters are the Scarlet Pimpernel and Marguerite (Lady Blankley). The problem in the story is that the general of the French troops captures two followers of the Scarlet Pimpernel had been captured and their papers taken. The general finds out where the Scarlet Pimpernel will strike next. So, after Marguerite realizes this, she and Sir Andrew get on a ship to France to warn him. But they don’t know where in the city he is so Sir Andrew goes around town looking for him while Lady Blankley stays at the hotel in case he comes back.

The story was mysterious and unpredictable. You could never tell who the Scarlet Pimpernel was or who he would be dress as. At times you couldn’t tell this story was fiction. The ending is very much unexpected. Things begin to unfold before your eyes. I thought it was a good book. If you like stories with suspense, this story is highly recommended.
