This is C.J. Sansom's last Shardlake novel, so I read it with a heavy heart to begin with. As always there is a mystery involving a distant relative of Anne “Beheaded“ Boleyn, but 80% of the novel (the whole middle part) deals with Kett's Rebellion, a farmers' rebellion in Norfolk (Tombland to be exact) against the upper classes. The history was riveting and (again) had me looking up a bunch of stuff. I'll miss Shardlake's medieval adventures.
