Excellent Tudor Mystery What an excellent Tudor mystery - Sansom really brings Tudor life 'back to life'! If you enjoy grizzly murder mysteries with twists and turns then this is for you. It is well up to the standard of the previous 3 Shardlake novels and we can only hope the fourth one will not be too long in arriving!

The style was absorbing and it gave the sense that you in the midst of the group as the events unfolded.

Buy it and get stuck in.
