King Henry's health is fading fast and social tension and religious persecution in Tudor England is at fever pitch. Queen Catherine Parr is in the midst of dangerous court intrigue and Matthew Shardlake is embroiled in aiding her, to the peril of himself and his companions.
Reading a Shardlake story is like visiting with an old friend. I love this series. The sense of time and place is impeccable and the cast of regulars and new characters always enjoyable.
