C. J. Sansom
In the third novel in this riveting series, barrister Matthew Shardlake is faced with the most terrifying threat in the age of Tudor England: his own imprisonment in the Tower of London.
Harsh autumn winds stir the English countryside as King Henry VIII, along with a thousand soldiers and his fifth wife, Catherine Howard, make their way from London to York after a violent uprising. Shardlake and his loyal assistant, John Barack, have a secret mission - they must transport a dangerous conspirator back to London for interrogation.
After a local glazier is murdered, Shardlake finds that this death seems not only connected to the prisoner, but to the royal family itself. Shardlake grows more determined when he realizes that a greater threat looms over the crown.

Excellent Narration

Nevertheless, the history of those Tudor era is endlessly enjoyable to learn about and the books do give you that. This mystery takes place during the Catherine Howard marriage. In this the third novel, the plot is more complex, realistic and engrossing. The books are getting better as we travel forward in Shardlake’s life.

Great storyline and narrator

Sansom has done a superb job recreating this world. One of the best aspects for me is Sansom's ability to reconstruct how these people thought. It is hard for us, at this distance, to understand the role of religion and the monarchy in most people's lives in 1540. Sansom gives us not only the details of this world but an insight into the emotional and philosophical life of 1540.
Henry VIII appears briefly, memorably and frighteningly; Henry's fundamental smallness is conveyed with deft skill.
It's a great mystery that is different from the first two books. Unlike so many authors, Sansom does not simply re travel worn trails.
The book is not perfect; some characters do tend towards stereotype, but even then those characters ring essentially true.
Without revealing too much, there is an appalling visit to the Tower of London that will make you most glad to be alive today and not in 1540.
The narration is superb.
It's a great listen; you will not be disappointed.
WOW, another great novel from CJ Sansom
