Heartstone: A Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery | C. J. Sansom

pick

Taking 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.

I cannot wait for this discussion. I have so many feelings, and I'm dying to hear what others thought. I was utterly baffled by both of the main mysteries. There was so much going on in this one!

I‘ve loved every novel we‘ve read so far in the #ShardlakeBR. So, on my last trip to London, where my daughter now lives, I just had to visit a few of the places where Matthew Shardlake spent his time, including Chancery Lane (where his home was supposedly located), Clifford‘s Inn (one of the Inns of Court), and the Old Bailey prison.
