Good catch!

MaryC Clawsey | 485 comments When I first encountered that title, I thought it referred to the unsuccessful attempt of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to get out of France. At least Bonnie Prince Charlie is in the right family!

It's just been pointed out to me that the description of this version of The Masqueraders https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... gives away too much of the plot (particularly the identity of the father!); there are also a few examples of odd wording that I think are the result of it having been written by someone whose first language is not English - eg Prudence and Robin being described as 'brothers'.

Not drastic, but I think https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1... has two blurbs rolled into one! It abruptly changes tense in the second paragraph and repeats information already in the first.
And the first has a couple of typos ('retuns' and 'Chaleigh')
