With worldwide sales of over 56 million of her novels, Victoria Holt is one of the most popular romantic suspense novelists of all time. Anyone who enjoyed her novel, The Shadow of the Lynx, will be eager to devour another of her unforgettable tales. Enamored by the handsome and arrogant Charles-Auguste, a wealthy French aristocrat, 18-year-old Minella is drawn into a complicated world of danger, betrayal, and murder. Denying her own suspicion that he has murdered his wife, she struggles with her fascination for the seductive and mysterious count. Against the backdrop of the incipient French Revolution, Minella's life becomes a series of adventures that all lead to an exciting and unexpected climax. Davina Porter's passionate narration transports readers back to a time when romance was a prerequisite to sex and family. Reminiscent of Charles Dickens' Tale of Two Cities, the historic setting and the powerful heroine captivate any reader who enjoys a book that is impossible to put down.… (plus d'informations)
Below par on both the romance and plot. Takes place in revolutionary france but the girl is so dumb she cant decide who she loves and at the end the noble comte miraculously escapes the terror. Not totally awful but dumb. ( )

One day you will cast aside all wisdome and come to me because nothing, simply nothing, will be strong enough to withstand it. That's what I want. Whatever I am, whatever my sins of the past, you will not care. You will love me - me not for my virtues, which are nonexistent, but for myself alone.

With scenes set in revolutionary France I can't help feeling that this should've been more exciting and shocking.
Worth reading but only once. (
