Search - Angel in a Red Dress

Meh! Good for a night of brain candy.

A little "heavier" reading than her other books, but still good. Drags in the middle a bit but the beginning and end are great. Alot of historical details, 18th century England/France war.

Adrien Hunt is a spy for the English crown during the French Revolution. He is in love with Christina Bower but refuses to acknowledge this even to himself. Christina is in love also and very concerned about Adrien's covert operations. She doesn't know that he is a spy but she's figuring it out from the many clues given inadvertantly.

I enjoyed this book. Christina and Adrien were both very likeable characters. I'm not much on war and whatnot but Judith Ivoy kept to the minimum on the historical details which made it rather enjoyable.

Reliable Ivory story;strong characters,plotkept my interest. When they first meet,he is an agent for the Crown during the French Revolution,she a feisty deb in her first season. Time passes, they connect and then get tangled in the web of a nasty political spider.

spell binding thrill seeking and dramatic!! i thought it was an excellent book!!
