Revelation is the fourth book in the Shardlake series and as with the other books in this series, this was a great read. Sansom effortlessly combines historical facts with a compelling mystery and these books are addictive, it´s hard to put them down once you start reading them. However, Revelatio...
With this installment in the Matthew Shardlake series, I think I can safely say that CJ Sansom has taken his place as my second favorite modern author (Sharon Kay Penman being my favorite). I have given this book some time to swirl around in my mind since I finished it, and I'm still not sure that I...
I am about to be terribly depressed. I have now read the fourth Matthew Shardlake novel. I have the next one on reserve at my library but when I finish with that one, there's no more! What am I going to do with myself until the next novel comes out sometime next year?!?!I was already bummed out read...

This is the fourth book in my favorite historical mystery series.

Meanwhile, the Bishop of London is busy persecut...
Revelation has been, so far, the book I've liked the least in the series.

However, ...
This mystery has some of the most inventive murders I've read - which is a sort of compliment really - honest. Set when Henry VIII is looking to make Catherine Parr his 6th wife, it tells of a country where religious turmoil has cause the country to fragment - there are all manner of religious flavo...

In this book Sansom takes his already excellent historical mystery series to a whole new level, with a story of a serial killer obsessed with the book of revelations and the protestant ideology. This book grapples with some of the big issues of the time, particularly the doctrine of predestined salv...
An excellent conclusion to the Shardlake seriesThis is the final book of the series following Matthew Shardlake’s adventures and it is no coincidence that it carries the same name as the final book of the New Testament. The intrepid lawyer’s main mission, for, as usual, he has several, is to track d...
