Trying to choose my next read and The Scarlet Pimpernel is in the running. Any spoiler-free thoughts on the pacing?

Grainne, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

The Scarlet Pimpernel is one I am weighing up. This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.

Eimear, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

For anyone considering The Scarlet Pimpernel: A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.
