pickThe book was long (881 pgs.) but was a very interesting read. 1549. Two years after the death of Henry VIII and the economy in collapse, inflation rages and the peasantry are rebelling. Shardlake is in the service of Henry's daughter, Lady Elizabeth. John Boleyn has been arrested for killing his wife. Shardlake is trying to prove his innocence. I look forward to the next book and recommend this series to those who love Historical Mysteries.

Tove_Reads I like it, but wasn‘t my fave in the series. I seem to prefer the books set in London for some reason. The surprise twist in the end that will have an impact on future works was intriguing. Was happy to see Shardlake and Barak working together! Such sad events in the book. (edited) 6y
EadieB @Tove_Reads it will probably be a year before we get the next one since we are now caught up. 6y
