I was already a huge fan of Matthew Shradlake (the main character)and have read all the previous books in the series For me this was the best so far which is a huge achievment as it usually proves difficult to manintain a high standard in a series of books or movies Shradlake is an unlikely hero,a physically weak man with a hunchback and to cap it all a member of the legal profession But he is,a thoroughly likeable man principled,scrupulous and fair who reminds me of a real life hero of mine the Roman senator Cicero The whodunnit plots in all the series interwoven with actual historic events are captivating and I felt as if I was observing the scenes first hand even the life and stinky smells of the 16th Century My only disappointment is that when I finished reading each of the books, how long will I have to wait for a further instalment of my hunchbacked heroRead full review
I’m currently reading all of cj sansoms books so its good to have bought them rather than waiting for them to arrive in my local library.

Love the Shardlake books and am now reading the last in the series Tombland. For anyone who likes the Tudor period I would highly recommend these books.
