A favorite historical mystery series.
The series' protagonist is the hunchbacked lawyer Matthew Shardlake who works on commission from Thomas Cromwell in Dissolution and Dark Fire, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in Sovereign and Revelation, and Queen Catherine Parr in Heartstone and Lamentation. The seventh book, Tombland, was published in October 2018.
EadieB Sansom has said that he plans to write further Shardlake novels taking the lawyer into the reign of Elizabeth I. 4y

EadieB @Daisey Glad you enjoyed them too. The last book is a very long one but so good! 4y
EadieB @Andrew65 I'm anxiously awaiting the next one. Hope we don't have to wait too long. 4y
Andrew65 @EadieB Yes hopefully not another 6 year gap. 4y
Ruthiella I‘ve only read the first book but may get to the second soon since I was able to get my mother interested in the series too. 😀 I do have a little trouble with the portrayal of Cromwell because he‘s so different from in the Hilary Mantel books! 4y
andrew61 Great choice, id forgotten about the series and hope to read tombland soon. 4y
EadieB @andrew61 Thanks and it is a real tomb of about 866 pages! 4y

EadieB @Nute Have you read book 1? (edited) 4y
Nute No. I think it was late at night and I thought that I was purchasing the first two books, but I love this historical period so I will get the entire series one day. Glad to see the love for it! 4y
EadieB @Nute Great series! Hope you enjoy it! 4y
