Have not finished the book yet but already proving to be a compelling read. The author (recently passed away) has created some notable characters in a time in history he clearly has studied well. In addition to enjoying the story I have learnt much about the time of Henry VIII and Cromwell. The book itself is a reasonable quality and at a very good price was great value.

Although the author had good recommendations, I didn't rate his style. Its a sort of "history" book novel, but unless you are a lover of history, its not for you! I have read hundreds of novels and non-fiction books in my life and this was one of the least satisfying.

I didn't think that historical novels would ever be for me - until I read this . It's brilliant. Wonderfully well written, so atmospheric. I enjoyed it tremendously. I shall now be reading the others in the Shardlake Series.
