One of my vacation reads. A nice historical mystery that can easily be read in one sitting. I enjoyed the technical details. The characters could do with a little more depth.

Don Jaime shook his head, ironic and indulgent. 'Fencing is like holy communion,' he said with a smile. 'You must come to it in a fit state of body and soul. If you break that supreme law, then punishment is bound to follow.'
