A review by ben_miller
Captain Alatriste by Arturo Pérez-Reverte
3.0
Ten years later: I’ve read this book again for some reason. It remains the same.
——————
The perfect thing to get me through a sickday. A very simple story padded by interesting commentary on Inquisition-era Spain, and in particular the city of Madrid. Written with elegant, careful prose that's a cut above the usual historical-mystery fare. Worth the couple of hours it takes to read.
