The Kings Gold
By Arturo Perez-Reverte
The latest in the Captain Alatriste series. This one started slow, and I found my attention wandering. I persevered, and it really cranks up the pace in the last third. While I enjoyed it, I got the feeling he wasn't really making an effort. Inigo, on the other hand, continues to develop, while Alatriste become slight more cardboard, or a caricature of himself.
Talking to a spanish salesman at work, I was gratified to find that dropping the authors name got me some respect and a decent car conversation as I dropped him off at his hotel.
Books, what can't they do..
