Pimpernelles: The Traitor’s Suite by Patricia Elliott

Eugenie de Boncoeur has fled the violence of the French Revolution to find sanctuary in England at the home of her cousin, Hetta. At first, the two girls seem to have nothing in common. Hetta can’t understand Eugenie’s preoccupation with clothes and appearance and scorns her politics. The two girls are soon drawn together though by a shared sense of danger, as the vengeful Pale Assassin waits across the channel to claim Eugenie for himself.

The Pale Assassin has a plan to make Eugenie hers and to reap his vengeance on the de Boncoeur family. The first part of his plot was to capture Eugenie’s brother. Then he sent his most successful spy, guy Deschamps to find her in England. Now how can Eugenie refuse his bargain with her brother’s life at stake?

She will have to sacrifice her chance of love and return to Paris in the grip of terror to face an uncertain future. Eugenie must decide her destiny. Must she do it alone, or can she find help, and who can she truly trust? In a place where old loyalties mean nothing and neighbours betray each other in order to survive?

The Traitor’s Suite follows on from ‘The Pale Assassin’ ands is as dramatic and unforgettable as the first book in the series. It is an exciting and unpredictable historical romantic thriller.
