I had to read Shogun to understand the
"Whys?" of the series. I loved it. Although, it was Japanese historical fiction through the eyes of a white man. I need to read Musashi, written by Murakami, about the same time period. The penny dreadfuls pop out - Dracula, Frankenstein (I remember being so surprised at this-I had been influenced way too much by Hollywood), and The Picture of Dorian Grey. #TLT @dabbe

pickTaking place in Tudor England in 1545, Matthew Shardlake is approached by his patron, Queen Catherine Parr, to investigate alleged wrongdoings of a ward at a rural estate in Hampshire. As Shardlake delves into the case, he uncovers dark secrets, including abuse, corruption, and long-buried scandals, all while the shadow of war with France looms in the background. A fascinating, harrowing, and extremely well-researched read.
