Ms. Savage you have my eternal gratitude. I have listened to a thousand titles, this was the finest of them all.

My wife loves the story so well, her scarlet red BMW has a personalized license plate PIMPRNL. And the reader is fabulous. Quite the story teller...
Very Fun!

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a tolerably well-written adventure story. If frequently repeated phrases don’t bother you (peremptory, or low, musical voice, or childlike face,etc) then you’ll probably enjoy this book. Once again, Karen Savage is a delight to listen to. I knew she was talented in English accents, so when she proved to be comfortable in French I was quite pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful! I’ve listened to it twice and it never fails to keep me on my toes. Karen savage is by far the best narrator I have ever listened to. I also highly recommend others of the scarlet pimpernel series.each one is an amazing account of how the mysterious hero thwarts his enemies and uses his witty jokes to make them still angrier!!!!!!
It is easy and light hearted read.

I loved the story and Karen's many accent inotations. She has an English accent , she is not a Texan!! My only criticism is that, I found Karen was speaking far too fast. In fact, four times I had to replay a part and put my volume on high, so I could understand the word that she had just hurried!! I could often hear her gasping for breath, because she was racing through the text. Two examples of such, were in chapter 18 at 4.06 approximately, she said, '' Bluebeards" wife. I presume it was in reference, to the famous pirate and at 3.57 approximately, she said, "unmolested". It sounded as if, she was in a hurry and that annoyed me. I would have given her five stars but for that. I look forward to checking out other books by this author. I hope , Karen doesn't narrate her other books, quite as fast. However, I'd still like to thank Karen, if she's reading this.

this is my first time listening to Karen Savage but it won't be my last. I think that she speaks the queen's English better than HRH herself and I was truly amazed to learn that she is actually from Texas the novel is very fast paced and the baroness has not wasted any text on unnecessary diversions or flowery explanations. the combination of the precise reading and the economic writing is that this story zips along and you really don't want to press the stop button. this was an excellent listen and I heartily recommend it..
Better than anticipated

I wanted to listen to this story because I liked the idea of the storyline and I enjoy historical romance. However, I was concerned the language would feel old-fashioned to a point but it may be difficult to follow along. I was very pleasantly surprised by how engaging both the author's story and the narrator made this listening experience. Great story! well read!
