review 1: It is a long time since I read a book (or in this case a series of books) that evoked a time so completely. Sansom is a glorious writer, he takes you back to Tudor England - you can see it, smell it (unfortunately), hear it - these books have done more to bring that historical period to life for me than any history book. If that were the books only virtue, that would be pretty impressive, but the fact that the plots are fascinating, the characters fully rounded and equally ready to leap off the page and take you by the hand - I don't think they could get any better. Historical crime fiction - another winning combination
review 2: Actually I read all four of these books separately over the last few years but they are all great reads. Sheldrake is a hump back... moreed lawyer in Tudor England who has a knack of solving bloody crimes. England of the period is vividly portrayed and the crimes are suitably gory. The religious turmoil of the period is well portrayed and the style is delightfully dry - Sheldrake's voice is lawyerly in its dry wit and concision - he has a self deprecating style that makes you long for him to find the life companion he so clearly both needs and deserves.Thoroughly recommended less
