Librarybelle This one seemed very short! We get to see Holmes and his thoughts on justice…Milverton sounded odious. 5d

kwmg40 @dabbe I think I accidentally got put on this tag list. I'm one of your Shardlakians, not Sherlockians. I'd love to join but have a few too many buddy reads on the go right now! 😄 5d

dabbe @kwmg40 Well, there's a reason I'm not Sherlock Holmes or Matthew Shardlake. 😂 So sorry about that! 🤗 5d

kwmg40 @dabbe No problem, and I‘m sure a lot of us aspire to be like Holmes or Shardlake! 😁 5d

eeclayton One thing that bugs me is how they didn't realise something was off when they smelled the cigar smoke all over the house 🤔 5d

kelli7990 I liked this story. 4d

CogsOfEncouragement @eeclayton Good point, and absolutely no noise from the bedroom. I was surprised SH didn't confirm all was to plan. 4d

Cuilin Quick yet exciting!! 4d

dabbe @Librarybelle I think this is one of his shortest ones. Either I'm getting better and better at Victorian writing styles, or this one read very quickly! 😂 4d

dabbe @eeclayton Yeah, how could he be asleep with all that smoke? Definite clue there! 4d

dabbe @kelli7990 🎯!!! 4d

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement SH didn't seem at his best on this one, but it was fun to see him turn into a burglar! 🤩 4d

dabbe @Cuilin Yes! 4d

dabbe It might just be me, but I LOVED that the noble lady kicked some serious ass! Finally, a Victorian woman who goes balls out and rids herself of her enemy. And she kept firing at him until all the bullets were used! Wowza! 🤩

Wow. Should I be that happy about a murder? Or killing? Which is it? 🤔 4d

CatLass007 @kwmg40 I‘m glad you were accidentally included in our group. Now I can add Matthew Shardlake to the extensive, but apparently not extensive enough, list of sleuths I should investigate. 4d

CatLass007 @dabbe She was great, wasn‘t she?! 4d

kwmg40 @CatLass007 Do consider joining the #ShardlakeBR! The series is great. 4d

CatLass007 @kwmg40 Thanks. I‘m going to give the buddy read a pass for now. I feel a little in over my head with buddy reads right now. But I‘ll check out the thread and see what‘s up. 4d

AnishaInkspill I hope to read this in the next few days 🙂 4d

dabbe @kwmg40 🤩🤩🤩 4d

dabbe @CatLass007 I know the feeling! 🧡🍁🤎 4d

dabbe @AnishaInkspill 🧡🍁🤎 4d

Read4life Well said about that kick ass lady @dabbe I think when it comes to a SH story it‘s ok to support her actions. 🤣🤣 3d

dabbe @Read4life YES! 🙌🏻😂🙌🏻 3d

Thoughts, Shardlakians?

LiseWorks I feel for Roderick, I don't like the way prisoners are treated. The gaelor I hate. He is cruel and reluctant to listen to Shardlake. I like the older lawer and feel for him as he knows he is dying. I'm not sure about the young girl Barack is involved with. 3w

Mollyanna I like Wrenne, but I feel he‘s hiding more than his illness. I hope I‘m wrong. Tamasin is an interesting character, and a different perspective. Maleverer and Radwinter are bullies 😛 3w

OutsmartYourShelf I wondered if Radwinter was based on John Sage, notorious torturer who worked for Edward I. All round nasty piece of work by all accounts.

Malevever - is that a clue? Mal- meaning evil or bad. Probably overthinking it.

Tamasin - you know if you had a line up of the love interests in these books I'm not sure I'd be able to differentiate between any of them. All very samey in character. 3w

dabbe @LiseWorks Agree 💯. I also wonder if Broderick might be poisoning himself somehow because he knows what's going to happen to him if he makes it to London. And to be in a cell where you look out the window and see your best friend's bones hanging there. How horrific was this society! 3w

dabbe @Mollyanna I like Wrenne, too. I wonder if there's more in that library of his. And it's a necessary plot point (I think) to have Tamasin inside the queen's quarters. I bet we're going to get more of her insider views in the 2nd half of the book. 3w

dabbe @OutsmartYourShelf I have no idea re: Page--interesting idea! Love your thought of “mal“ meaning evil. I'll add to that: his name ends in “ever“ as in evil forever maybe?

So far, the Tamasin-Barak love interest is similar to the one in DISSOLUTION. We'll have to see if that changes in the 2nd half. 🤩 3w

kwmg40 I liked most of these fictional characters, and Sansom is good at making each of them a little bit mysterious, hinting at some interesting backstory that may be revealed as the novel progresses. 3w

AnneCecilie I have the same feeling about Wrenne @Mollyanna I never thought about that regarding Malevever‘s name @OutsmartYourShelf but it makes 2w
