Club Dumas was pleasantly surprising - Foucault's Pendulum-light for Musketeers fans. Do you happen to have read anything else of his. I've had the Flanders Panel and Fencing Master but never seem to get around to them.

>> No.2504716

>>2504690
I haven't read anything else by him (Arturo Perez-Reverte). The Flanders Panel might be interesting but I feel like I'm wandering into a theme that will annoy me if I read too much "Oooh, what's happening in this old manuscript/painting that's sooo mysterious!". Sometimes I feel like he's using the characters as puppets to tell us cool stuff about book and art collectors, when he should just write a non-fiction book about it (maybe he has?).
I'm enjoying The Tree Musketeers quite a lot. Wasn't sure I would.

Club Dumas was the source material for my favorite movie. Reverte and Polanski was a match made in heaven. Or hell.
