		Orczy's dramatic writing fully captures the drama and the tragedy of the French Revolution.
		The thoughts and concerns of the main character (Marguerite) are plain, without nuance or complexity, and by the end I was gritting my teeth every time she was described as "the cleverest woman in Europe." The book's first sentence is great, and the first chapter is very good, but it's downhill from there.

	The Fordwych Castle Mystery by Baroness Orczy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		According to her servants, the present Baroness D'Alboukirk is very self-willed, but otherwise neither more nor less eccentric than any north-country old maid would be who had such an exceptional position to keep up in the social world.
		The inquest was held in the dining room of Fordwych Castle, and the noble hall was crowded to its utmost when the coroner and jury finally took their seats, after having viewed the body of the poor murdered woman upstairs.
		The scene was dramatic enough to please any novelist, and an awed hush descended over the crowd when, just before the proceedings began, a door was thrown open, and in walked--stiff and erect--the Baroness d'Alboukirk, escorted by her niece, Miss Henriette, and closely followed by her cousin, Captain Jack, of the Guards.
