Kid had an appointment today so I took a few hours off work to read while we waited in a waiting room. Picking this book up for #BookedInTime . From what I've read so far, the pace might be a bit slow for me but it is still early goings so we'll see how the rest goes.

Mehso-so

England, 1549 & King Edward VI has not yet reached his majority being only 11 years old, so Lord Hertford, Edward Seymour, is ruling in the name of the King as the Protector. Tensions between landowners & tenants are rising as the former enclose valuable land meaning that the latter have nowhere for their animals to graze.

OutsmartYourShelf As part of his work for the Lady Elizabeth, Shardlake has been asked to discreetly investigate the murder of the wife of John Boleyn, a distant relative of Elizabeth's mother. Shardlake & assistant, Nicholas Overton, travel to Norwich to interview John Boleyn, & run into Barak. All three become embroiled in the rebel camp which sets up just outside the town. 2w
OutsmartYourShelf The rebels believe the Protector is on their side, but Shardlake fears that the reality is very different.

Finally finished this mammoth (866 pages!) final read of the #Shardlake series. There's a lot of historical detail & the research into this is plain to see, but my, did it drag on! It is a pity we will never know how Shardlake's story was to end due to the untimely death of the author & one wonders how many pages the next book would have had

kspenmoll I read the first two I think & want to continue in 2026 as well. 2w

@dabbe Thank you very much for this package, even though I feel slightly guilty as I haven't got round to reading the tagged & subsequent ones yet!

I do have extra motivation to read them now, however, as I've decided I need background information from the Reformation onwards to help with my creative writing project (even if it's going to be taking place nearly a century later 🤣😃)!

dabbe You can read them at your leisure, m'dear! Glad it made it across the big pond! ♥️💚💙 1mo
