For fans of books about detectives where the fictional case revolves around books. For fans of The Three Musketeers and all things Alexandre Dumas. For fans of old, rare books and the search to find them. For fans of Satan related fiction. For fans of books that ended up being made into movies starring Johnny Depp (if that's a thing). In my latest video for Roy's Book Reviews I discuss The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte.https://youtu.be/oh1IWNHApkE
