A real success with this book CJSansom. A historical novel that allows us to go back a few centuries back alongside Matthew Shardlake during the reign of Henry VIII. Using a religious reform and Machiavellian idea that tyrant king served by men like Thomas Cromwell during his reign in England plunged into doubt and the Terror. With his bloodhound a hunchback lawyer we face in search of exciting puzzles. First book in a series that captivates us, excellent.
