7 posts | 6 read
1789. The Bastille has fallen... As Parisians pick souvenirs from the rubble, a killer stalks the lawless streets. His victims are female aristocrats. His executions use the most terrible methods of the ancient regime. English spy Attica Morgan is laying low in Paris, helping nobles escape. When her next charge falls victim to the killer's twisted machinations, Attica realises she alone can unmask him. But now it seems his deadly sights are set on her. As the city prisons empty, and a mob mobilises to storm Versailles, finding a dangerous criminal is never going to be easy. Attica's only hope is to enlist her old ally, reformed pirate Jemmy Avery, to track the killer though his revolutionary haunts. But even with a pirate and her fast knife, it seems Attica might not manage to stay alive. 'A rip-roaring adventure' Tessa Harris on The Bastille Spy

I greatly enjoyed the first book in the Revolution Spy series, The Bastille Spy, and have been eagerly awaiting this sequel. The Scarlet Code picks up just soon enough after the first book to be immediately accessible, but just long enough that you get the idea that things have been ticking along while we were looking away.

Attica Morgan works as a spy, the Bastille has fallen and she is trying to rescue nobles from Madame La Guillotine's blade.
Yet someone knows what she is doing and killing them before she can effect a rescue.
In the background a plan is also afoot to storm Versailles palace and kill Marie Antoinette.
Attica is trying to save nobles lives ahead of the blade or the murderer trying hard to thwart her plans and trying to rescue the queen.

This was really good, I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Attica Morgan is a spy and her mission is to help the nobles flee persecution during the French revolution.
But someone knows what she is doing and is determined to foil her plans.
They are murdering the nobles ahead of their escape from Paris.
During all this there's also a plot to kill Queen Marie Antoinette so now Attica and her sidekick Jemmy try to save her from the mob who want her blood!

A fabulous adventure story which took me on a rollercoaster of a ride. It‘s fast paced and action packed and I just love the characters of Attica and Jemmy. They make a great intrepid duo. Historical fact is combined with fiction making it a well researched piece of writing. It‘s beautifully written and there is a good sense of time and place, I almost felt I was there. A fun and entertaining read.

Good. This books grabs you from the very first chapter and doesn't let up on the danger and excitement that the characters go through and will have you hooked on throughout the book. Even though this is a sequel To the Bastille Spy you can read it as a stand alone book as it gives you subtle descriptions in the first few chapters who everyone is. Thank you #Readersfirst for the free copy.
