New Shardlake!

[weebarra]

Tombland, publisher in October, yay!

Brilliant!!!

Great news, such sad news about Sansom's health.

How sad about CJ Sansom.

DP is beyond excited about a new Shardlake. He is a massive fan.

I had read that but also that it was “incurable but treatable” so had hoped the outlook wasn’t totally bleak. I read an article he did about being bullied at school and, one feels one knows him a bit, through his books.

Wow!!

Sent too soon. So exciting. Very sad about C J Samson.

Awful news about Sansom, but wonderful news about Shardlake. I really thought Lamentation would be the last.

'Tombland' though? Really? That sounds awful imo. It doesn't sound Tudor, it sounds like some kind of western, or a fantasy novel.

Sad to hear the new about CJS health.

Have enjoyed Shardlake very much and have a huge crush on Jack Barak. I really like Guy too, he'd be fascinating to talk to.

Brilliant, can't wait

Is the title something to do with Henry VIII's obsession with designing his own massive tomb for posterity?

It’s set in Norwich, which has a well known area called Tombland that played a prominent part in Ketts rebellion, which the book covers.

Thank you - should have known Shardlake wouldn't be allowed spend more than a few nights in his own bed.

Oooh good news and in time for my mum's Christmas present

I like Barak too @Weezol. He's such a good character. Well, they all are. I just love Shardlake, and Guy. I really miss Joan too, I was sad that she died outside the books.

Great news
There are so many that try to walk on his footsteps bit tjere is such an air of sadness and isolation that hangs round shardlake that no one else can create. And briiant research too.

What terrible news about his health. I missed that article as I don’t get it the Times on a Sunday. I was so excited about reading the news of his new book but this has clouded it.

Oh brilliant - can't wait - and now that I know it is set in my neck of the woods I'm extra excited. think I might reread the others in anticipation.

Really sad to hear C J Sansom has been so poorly thought
