Every Chapter, In Order

The Queen's Necklace — part of the Marie Antoinette Romances, 91 chapters plus a prologue.

These 91 chapters and prologue dramatize the real, real Affair of the Diamond Necklace — a confidence scheme so close to actual documented history that Dumas needed to invent very little of it. See the full overview page, or this site's piece on what really happened to the scheme's mastermind after the novel's events conclude.
