I've loved Dumas' Musketeers...
And I would not claim that Sarah Hoyt's version is entirely faithful, it certainly begins with the characters and the timed and adds in a (slightly) more modern perspective. Each of her mysteries focuses on one of the Musketeers-- this one belongs to Porthos. He is not quite the simple giant-clown of the original.

This was a fun "sequel" to the Three Musketeers, although not nearly as well written. It made me want to go back and reread the original Dumas!

The third mystery in D'Almeida's Musketeers series focuses on Porthos. This time Porthos, in search of his missing fencing apprentice, finds the boy dying behind a pub. Not knowing what to do, he goes to his friends, who promise to help him find the murderer.
The Musketeer mysteries all have twists and turns that keep a reader guessing who the culprit might be until the very end. This volume is no different. However, the end to this one is heart wrenching and left me with a tear in my eye.
The entire series so far is a great addition to historical mystery and cozy mystery genres. Recommended.
