Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-13 00:00:00 Rodnie Matute Two plays introducing us to the young con man that will go on to become one of France's original gentlemen thieves/noble rogues. A sinister old con man is after a family fortune, but his plan stumbles when he crosses paths with a jaded courtesan that has fallen in love with the young heir and then he recruits the young Rocambole, who has schemes of his own. Light and fluffy with lots of plots and double crosses that all works out in the end. Reads like a really good 30's black and white mystery movie. Fun intro to a character that has me annoyed that I can't track down more of Rocambole's stories.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-17 00:00:00 Wendy Laws As with all of Frazer's mysteries, this book gives great insight into day-to-day life in 15th century England. The characters are complete and enjoyable to spend time with. The story has twists that make for a good amount of suspense. Definitely worth a read.
