Book Reviews of The Club Dumas
Book Review: Great plot, strange ending
Summary: 4 Stars
The author did a good job developing the characters and the plot. The old manuscripts/books angle kept my interest. Having seen some Spanish, Argentine, and Mexican films, I'd have to say the ending of Club Dumas was very much in line with types of endings many Spanish speaking films have - bizarre! This was a good read. I would definitely recommend this book. I will also read books by this author again.
Summary of The Club Dumas
#1 International Bestseller
Lucas Corso is a book detective, a mercenary hired to hunt down rare editions for wealthy and unscrupulous clients. When a well-known bibliophile is found hanged, leaving behind part of the original manuscript of Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers, Corso is brought in to authenticate the fragment. He is soon drawn into a swirling plot involving devil worship, occult practices, and swashbuckling derring-do among a cast of characters bearing a suspicious resemblance to those of Dumas's masterpiece. Aided by a mysterious beauty named after a Conan Doyle heroine, Corso travels from Madrid to Toledo to Paris in pursuit of a sinister and seemingly omniscient killer.
Part mystery, part puzzle, part witty intertextual game, The Club Dumas is a wholly original intellectual thriller by the author of The Flanders Panel and The Seville Communion.
