The Red Necklace: A Novel of the French Revolution (French Revolution #1) by Sally Gardner

I had a hard time concentrating on this book. It seemed to go on and on about things that weren't pertinent to the story line, and then it would move quickly through the interesting parts. Mostly, I wish the gypsy world and the love story had been more developed. The ending was also very unsatisfactory.
If you are looking for a mystery novel, this is not one. I see that it's been categorized as a mystery by some, but I don't agree.
