Gentlemen's Blood: A History of Dueling
Purity of Blood
Blood Kin: A Novel
The Haven: A Novel of Blood Curdling Horror
Eyewitness Bloody Sunday
I do read quickly, especially when I have time to get stuck into a book!
18. Purity of Blood
Second in the series, about the Inquistion investigating people's religious backgrounds in a Spain full of intrigue and suspicion. Really enjoyed it.
I'm going to Spain in March. I've already read Captain Alatriste and was thinking about taking the next two -- Purity of Blood and Sun over Breda -- to read on the plane. I've already read Shadow of the Wind, but it would be thematic too.

I was catching up on your threads and saw you read The Purity of Blood and liked it. I just read Captain Alatriste and I am anxious to read the next one so I'm glad you liked it.
I've also read The Three Musketeers.
Do you have other recommendations for books of that type?

Witch Way To Murder - Shirley Damsgaard,
The Necropolis Railway - Andrew Martin,
Purity of Blood - Arturo Perez-Reverte

#39 Purity of Blood by Arturo Perez-Reverte
These books have intrigued me. I love the Inigo character (the narrator). I really feel for him in all his adventures with Captain Alatriste. He is curious so he gets himself into trouble.
What has really happened while reading these books is ...

>65: I just finished the second, Purity of Blood and liked it just as much. I've got the third waiting to go.
>37: I've read the first two the Captain Alatriste books (Captain Alatriste and Purity of Blood ) and enjoyed them. I just finished the latter last week. I've got the third in the series waiting to go.
... The problem with the 4 for $10 is that they always put one or two books that I really want on the table. Last time, it was Purity of Blood by Arturo Perez-Reverte (who wrote the awesome The Club Dumas). So, I end up agonizing over the crappy romances and chick lit to fill out the group. *sig ...
Purity of Blood by Arturo Perez-Reverte - it's on my TBR shelf just waiting for me.
... to move ahead strongly.
Next up, perhaps The Tomb by F. Paul Wilson or Purity of Blood by Pérez-Reverte.
... I didn't care that much for the first in the series, but the next two are, IMHO (yo Tad!), much better. I really liked Purity of Blood . But then I love everything I've ever read by Perez-Reverte. There are books of his that still haven't been translated into English. I've taken a look at ...

4. The Fencing Master - I agree this one was mediocre compared to the others
I have both Captain Alatriste and Purity of Blood , so I will be looking forward to Talbin's report!
... lack of love so people still give it a go if they're pondering it!
I finished a bit of quality fluff earlier this week: The Purity of Blood by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. I'm quite enjoying his Captain Alatriste series: they're kind of dark in places but very easy to read and nicely written ...
Arturo Perez-Reverte is a good story teller. I really enjoyed Club Dumas and hope to begin Purity of Blood soon. Reading a Spanish author, and book about books, makes a fun read.

... he had a hard time getting off the ground with the first book, Captain Alatriste. Still, it's worth finishing. The 2nd, Purity of Blood , I thought was much better, and I really liked Sun over Breda.

I wish I could say I've read more but I've only read Territorio Comanche. I tried reading Limpieza de Sangre , the 2nd tome of his Alatriste series but put it down after 70 pages or so. But I think I just wasn't in the mood for more sword-fighting stories since I had just read Isabel Allende's Z ...

They are. The first is, oddly enough, Captain Alatriste, the second, Purity of Blood . I believe they are the only two that have been translated into English so far.
I think it's actually the second in the series, Purity of Blood .

LisaLynne, I'm a Perez-Reverte fan as well, Seville Communion is one of my favorites. The second Alatriste book Purity of Blood is out in English, but not yet in paperback.
