review 1: I just recently discovered this series, and have eagerly embarked on them all. It’s a dramatic series, but possesses a great deal of charm. The prose is elegant, the characters vivid and varied, the sense of period fabulous. I loved Charles du Luc, the Jesuit hero, with his earthly passions and spiritual longings, and the portraits of the other teachers at the school were also intriguing. The depiction of the Jesuit school and in particular the dance program within it, are fascinating. The mystery was well-constructed, and the path to the solution led through widely varying settings—including the slums of the abandoned Louvre.

review 2: If you like Ariana Franklin's books you'll love this mystery. I found this book when Borders was closing and I needed the third "Mistress of Death" book. When I saw that Ms. Franklin recommended the book, I was sold. "Rhetoric of Death" is set in France during Louis XIV's reign. Most of the story is set in Paris at a Jesuit school. I hope more people discover this book...it's worth your time. less
