I'm sure I've cottoned onto this much later than most bookworms on mn. Still better late than never. I have read Dissolution and now coming to the end of Dark Fire.

I'm so hooked, I don't think I'd notice if the house fell down the books are so gripping (wouldn't they make great films?)

I have Sovereign lined up..but then what? Help!

I haven't really read historical crime books before and had no idea I'd enjoy these so much. Where can I go when I have exhausted the wonderful Shardlake? Any suggestions welcome

There is a series by an author called Susanna Gregory something along the same lines as Sansom. They're aren't nearly as good but worth having a look at.

I didn't like the Historian, and didn't finish reading it. The historical fiction I like are the Horatio Hornblower series (C.S. Forester), the Master and Commander series (Patrick O'Brian), The Richard Sharpe series (Bernard Cornwell), the Warlord Chronicles (Bernard Cornwell), the Benjamin Weaver series (David Liss), the Shardlake series (C.J. Sansom), and Master of War series (David Gilman).
