Just finished Purity of Blood by Arturo Perez-Reverte and, before that, the first of the Captain Alatriste series. Both excellent, very entertaining and filled with witty, wry history of Spain during the later times of the Inquisition.

Thanks for recommending this author. I have really enjoyed everything of his I've read, so far.

Also, just started the Guernsey Literary Club and Potato Peel Pie Society! Half way through and can't put it down. Thanks for that recommendation, too!
