    			  I have been enjoying this series so far; however, this one seemed a bit scattered in plot.  I hope the fourth book puts things back on track.

    			  This was an advanced copy that I received.  It is set post-revolutionary France and tells the tale of young student and his encounters with a gang of philosophers/thieves.  To me, this book always seemed to be on the cusp of getting really good, but it just never happened.
