Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Praise for the Matthew Shardlake series:
"Remarkable. . . . The sights, the voices, the very smell of this turbulent age seem to rise from the page."
--"P.D. James
""Terrific . . . a remarkable, imaginative feat. It is a first-rate murder mystery and one of the most atmospheric historical novels I've read in years."
--"The Mail on Sunday
""Historical crime fiction is sometimes little more than a modern adventure in fancy dress. Not so the novels of C. J. Sansom, whose magnificent books set in the reign of Henry VIII bring to life the sounds and smells of Tudor England . . . Dark Fire" "is a creation of real brilliance."
--"The Sunday Times "(UK)
