Congrats to the Baroness for inventing the masked vigilante but the “cleverest woman in Europe” is an idiot and oh no won’t someone think of the aristocrats?

I liked this - read it in less than a day, but I have one thing against it - it's a bit redundant. The feelings and thoughts of the characters are repeated several times, amongst other things...I just got a little tired of it. But still, a great book and fun story. Well written (not as well written as some of the older classics, though).

This is my little sister's favorite book. I finally read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am ready to read more of them. I was surprised that it was such an easy fast read even though the language is a bit old. I love Percy Blakeney's character. Gad!
