The second of Jean Plaidy's flamboyant French Revolution series

No longer the well-beloved, Louis XV is becoming ever more unpopular - the huge expense of his court and decades of costly warfare having taken their toll. As the discontent grows, Louis seeks refuge in his extravagances and his mistress, the powerful Marquise de Pompadour. Suspicions, plots and rivalry are rife as Louis's daughters and lovers jostle for his attention and their own standing at Court. Ignoring the unrest in Paris, Louis continues to indulge in frivolities. But how long will Paris stay silent when the death of the Marquise de Pompadour leads to yet another mistress influencing the King?

Industry Reviews

Her novels are still very much to be enjoyed ... Any writer who can both educate and thrill a reader of any age deserves to be remembered and find new fans ... One only has to look at the TV/Media to see that the appetite for this kind of writing is still very much there * Matt Bates, WH Smith Travel *
Jean Plaidy doesn't just write the history, she makes it come alive. * Julia Moffat, RNI *
Full-blooded, dramatic, exciting. * Observer *
It is hard to better Jean Plaidy * Daily Mirror *
