The Queen's Necklace is a novel by Alexandre Dumas that was published in 1849 and 1850 (immediately following the French Revolution of 1848). It is loosely based on the Affair of the Diamond Necklace, an episode involving fraud and royal scandal that made headlines at the court of Louis XVI in the 1780s.
The Queen Necklace Illustrated Edition eBook Alexandre Dumas
This is an intriguing look into Marie Antoinette's time - fun, light and totally entwined with intrigues, back-stabbing, plotting, politics, honor, laced with royalty. I would recommend skipping the first chapter as it can be confusing, at least it was for me. Let's just say it differed greatly from the rest of the book. I think he was attempting retro-active staging, but it failed - for me anyway. At times it was hard to keep up because the characters entered so quickly.The book is a wonderful romp through royal plots and parallel plans - the challenge is to see who comes out on top and how. The twists are surreal, making you wonder how much of this was based on true stories of the times and how much is fiction.

The Queen Necklace Illustrated Edition eBook Alexandre Dumas Reviews
A wonderful book that arrived in a better condition than advertised, quickly, at a very good price.
Wonderful! Splendid! Another masterful piece of work by the greatest master of intrigue. I must say that after Monte Cristo this is my second favorite.
Great book, but it is a historical novel written a long time ago. One needs to take that into consideration when reading the book.
As much as Iove The Count of Monte Cristo, this work dissappoints. The story is scattered abd sometimes seems incoherent. I would almost never tell someone to just watch the film version, but, in this case, the film presents a more solid version of the story even with the plot additions.
I chose this book because I actually loved Alexander Dumas as a child. The writing is formal, which carries me into another world. The action is clearly European, not as action packed as a western. The plot is difficult to follow, unless you know what to look for. I recommend this to anyone who studies the arts and the craft of writing.
Having read many of Dumas' works, I have a certain expectation that his sharp wit and eloquent way of painting pictures in my mind will be a part of any new book of his that I read. The Queen's Necklace did not disappoint. It is a multifaceted story that keeps your interest and spawns many theories in your mind as you go. It comes together rather surprisingly fast in the end though. I moved from this book to Taking The Bastile. It seems Dumas was incapable of bad writing.
This book bored me to distraction. I know this is a true event from history, but I just didn't think the queen would talk and behave in that fashion. I also got sick of every man in the novel being so in love with the queen, he was half mad. If you really want to read Dumas at his best, pick up The Count of Monte Cristo and skip this one.
