The third in the Shardlake series. Shardlake is sent north with a royal progress to deal with local petitions to the King for justice, with a side-mission of looking after the welfare of a prisoner, being taken to the tower for questioning with 'harsh measures'. When a glazier is murdered, his final words to Shardlake embroil the lawyer in secrets which could threaten the security of the throne. The North has not taken well to religious reform and conspirators abound, and Shardlake's meeting with Henry VIII leaves his sympathies torn. This is excellent, the reader is drawn into the Tudor world and the power struggles surrounding the court.

Passeur-X kindly got in touch to let me know this book was available. It's been on my wish list for some time so was delighted to receive it this morning. Just finished my other book so will start straight away...

Wowzers, it's been a long time since I read one of Sansom's novels and have been completely blown away by Sovereign. It's definitely time to proactively get more on my shelf!

This has been a remarkable detective/mystery thriller with fantastic characters at every step of the way creating a web of intrigue. Being set against the backdrop of the Northern Progress and an important political event of the time makes this even more realistic and complex. Beautifully researched and superbly executed!

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Finally managed to have a clear out of books on the shelf. Decided to utilise the charity book shelf at the local Tesco which seems to be quite active so am intrigued to know whether BC will be something that could be adopted here.
