Baroness Orczy
Paris: September 1792. At the West Barricade, the bloody guillotine continues her ghastly work. And word has gotten round that the mischievous Englishman who delights at ferrying off French aristocrats to England is somewhere among them. For today, the Citoyen Fouquier-Tinville, on his way to the Committee of Public Safety, received another enigmatic calling card. It was signed with a symbol of a red flower - the mark of the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Speaking of repetitive, one of the annoyances of this book is the production of the recording itself. The narrator, B.J. Harrison, is competent although his French accent is a bit hammy. I kept thinking of the inspector from the Pink Panther movies. But there are a lot of glitches where the words or entire lines are repeated. This seemed more of a nuisance than a substantive problem.
Still, after listening to this, I just gave a small, sad smile. Thomas Wolfe said "You can't go home again." This book, one of my treasured childhood reading experiences, was one that didn't fare well for me as a middle-aged man.
