The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-ReverteMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Some of it was rough around the edges, and I had some issues with the whole ending/denouement, but all in all it was a satisfying read.
I liked many of the asides and quotes, such as the one about Marquis de Paulmy and the Comte d'Artois. Or the discussion about why Death carries a scythe while the devil has a pitchfork:
"Because Death reaps, but the Devil harvests"
Also, this introduction happened at the party, which made me happy: "Look who's arrived. You know him, don't you? Professor of Semiotics in Bologna..."
3.5 stars
