I have read a few of this author's books but I found that so far this has been the most compelling especially with reference to the theory that Henry VIII may not have been the rightful King. This theory ties in with another great book The Daughter of Time by Josephine Tey, a brilliant investigation into the history (fictional) of that time.

A very good book of historical interest. C J SANSOM is an excellent writer. The Shardlake Series is highly recommended.

If you enjoy historical novels, you will love this. If gives so much information about life in King Henry Vlll time. They were very brutal times and the poor people suffered much after the dissolution of the monasteries. The king did nothing to help them, he seemed only interested in a massing wealth for himself and his cronies. Once you start it's hard to put down. It's best to start with book 1, Dissolution and go through them in the order he has written. I'm now reading Heartstone.

Love the Shardlake series but very disappointed in the quality of this paperback. I made a cover for it as to be honest did not want to touch the book much. Having said that I am enjoying reading it but feel I need to wash my hands afterwards.
