 Another good book in this series January 7, 2009
This is another good book in this series, and has some very good writing of disturbing religious views of the time. As with other books, CJ Sansom brings Tudor England to life with excellent detail and feel for the period. That said, I hope that is the end of all the murder and misadventure for Matthew Shardlake, such a lovely man deserves some well earned peace and quiet!!
 One of the best series about January 2, 2009
I wasn't to sure when I picked the first book up, but then I read it and then promptly bought the next one, and so on. This series is a must for anyone who enjoys reading.
Scary & rivetting January 2, 2009
I'm a newcomer to the Shardlake series so I've only been able to buy the paperbacks; a pity since I can tell that I'm going to read them again and again. As a lawyer I can tell that the legal research is impeccable and as a fan of historical novels the wealth of fine detail makes me wholly comfortable in Sansom's London.
More please Mr Sansom.
Simply amazing! December 31, 2008
I loved this book - couldn't put it down. You can really see, smell and taste life in tudor England. A brilliant, unputdownable read which i will be recommending to friends and family. Sansom's books just keep getting better and better! Roll on the next Shardlake mystery.
Totally Absorbing December 28, 2008
Having only read the first book of the Shardlake series (which was good), I decided to dive into this one on a whim, and I'm glad I did. The story of a Tudor serial killer is a hundred times more terrifying than a modern-day one as crimes were so easy to get away with then, and that is something the author plays on right until the very end. While this is an exciting read, it is also an informative one. However, although Sansom is undoubtedly a great historian, it is difficult to know how much of the action is actually true to life, and so you just have to take his word for it. The detailed descriptions of a grim, filthy Tudor London are fascinating and really carry the story along. Very long but highly recommended.
