This is the third book in the Marie Antoinette Romances series by Dumas. The series includes Balsamo the Magician , The Mesmerist’s Victim , The Queen’s Necklace , Taking the Bastille , The Hero of the People , The Royal Life Guard and The Countess de Charny . In The Queen’s Necklace , Balsamo is relegated to a fairly minor role, and a new name. This story takes place ten years after The Mesmerist’s Victim , but utilizes most of the same characters. The main plot is woven around an infamously expensive necklace that King Louis offers to give Marie Antoinette. She declines it, but that’s only the beginning. Someone is impersonating the Queen, and doing very un-queenly things. You think you see the train wreck coming at the end, and just like that, Dumas shows you an entirely different disaster.
