Death of a Musketeer

I was really looking forward to some swashbuckling fun and good repartée, so when I heard of these books I put the first four on my reading list. After reading the first, I removed the others.

The murder mystery isn't as mysterious as all that, and the delay in solving it relies heavily on D'Artagnan not recognizing someone he'd encountered before. As he is supposed to be very observant and cunning, that doesn't work very well.

I suppose it's time for a re-read of Brust's The Phoenix Guards and Five Hundred Years After. I know I won't be disappointed there!
