  • Revelation C J Sansom5

    Penny Cunningham I have all the Shardlake books to date, and this is by far the best! I loved it! Its takes place in London in Henry Tudors' time, and is about the race to find a "serial killer" as we would call them today. Good upright people are being killed off in absolutely dreadful, mind-boggling ways!! A religious fanatic is following the book of revelation, killing people to bring about the end of the world! Great stuff, very well written. Had me guessing right to the end. A fabulous read. by Penny Cunningham

  • Revelation:unputdownable!5

    Janice Margaret Warne C.J.Sansom not only writes a great thriller, but allows the reader to enter the hazardous world of Henry V111's England, where anyone of any class in society could face a barbarous death, simply by choosing which way they practice religion!
    Sansom's descriptive writing is engaging, informative, and one feels a sympathy for Shardlake, the ethical lawyer, and the situations he faces! The role of the Monarch in these series, is one of unquestioning power and greed, and the populace are divided by religious confusion.The treatment of the mentally ill is also touched on, and a wonderful look at clothing, manners, and even food of the time.
    I believe these books would make a marvellous Tele series, or film, (in the UK, please! ) by Janice Margaret Warne

    It's an addiction5

    Esther Robinson I just can't get enough of Matthew Shardlake, the hunch-backed lawyer with a warm heart and a sharp mind. This is yet another blindingly exciting book set in Henry VIII's England. It evokes the sinister beliefs of the times, and makes you glad that you're in the 21st century, yes really! The history is fascinating, mixed with a really cracking crime thriller, can CJ Sansom do no wrong? It seems not. Highly highly recommended. by Esther Robinson
