First in a new historical mystery series featuring the musketeers, loosely based on the characters from Alexander Dumas' book set in seventeeth-century France. When the three inseparable Musketeers and D'Artagnan stumble upon the body of a dead woman who greatly resembles the Queen dressed in Musketeer costume, they undertake to solve her murder and find themselves embroiled in a scurrilous political plot possibly involving some of the most powerful men in the country. I really enjoyed this book, although admittedly I don't recall much in the way of details about Dumas' original work (I need to read it again!) so don't really know how many liberties the author took with her story. I enjoyed it for what it was--a rollicking historical mystery, and as a bonus, I didn't figure out the mystery til close to the end. Looking for more in the series.
