The Duke and the Imposter by Michael Stolle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Pierre, now a Marquis after his poor upbringing in an orphanage, lives in France with his wife and young son. On a normal outing to have a picnic in the countryside, they are attacked, and his wife and son are abducted. When Pierre is found near death by his friends, he is patched up and they begin the long arduous journey to figure out who has abducted them and why. Their journey takes them all the way to England and Pierre will have to face an old and bitter enemy if he wants to retrieve his family.
The writing was good, it was at a very slow pace and much detail is given into the worldbuilding. As this is the 5th book in the series, I don’t think that the author had to go into such detail, much could have been abbreviated while not detracting form the story. It is still a good book if you wish for something at a slower pace.
