![The Chopin Manuscript: A Serial Thriller | [Lee Child, David Corbett, Joseph Finder, Jim Fusilli, John Gilstrap, James Grady, David Hewson, P. J. Parrish, Jeffery Deaver, Lisa Scottoline]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PqzLpKBHL._SL175_.jpg)
"a nice start but a disappointing ending"
I think the idea to have bunch of authors work together for a thriller is a good one. The trouble is, they have to work in a coordinated way. This novel starts very nicely, but a lot of the plots and figures that seem to be important at the very beginning were destroyed unexpected in the middle (e.g., the FBI agent) and the ending seems just too artificial.

![Dissolution: A Novel of Tudor England Introducing Matthew Shardlake | [C.J. Sansom]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wCTrzsvsL._SL175_.jpg)
"One of the best historic thrillers I read"
What did you love best about Dissolution?The mixture of history and criminal investigation is superb. The writing is very vivid and one can almost smell and touch the life of medieval England. The main figures are not quite likable, but very real. The author is very skillful presenting a multi-layered, internally conflicting personality of the main characters.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?The murder plot is actually quite simple, but the twists with the main characters personal feeling and changes of attitude are the main factors attract me from listening it.
