To the MNetter who recommended CJ Sansom

[oftenpurple]

can I just say, thank you! Bought Dissolution for my kindle yesterday and I'm already half way through. Absolutely brilliant

He's good isn't? I've just finished Revelation .

I rec him to everybody but so do lots of other people, so I don't know if it was me or not. But am so glad you're enjoying it - he's great! And I am v slightly in love with Matthew S

I think they are fantastic books, and always recommend them. The history is solid too, so you can feel like you are learning at the same time.

Worth buying for Kindle too, as they are def rereaders (my merit for buying things for mine anyway )

I really liked Phil Rickman's The Bones of Avalon too.

He nornally does paranormal thrillers (which I like) but this one is historical.

I loved all of these; hoping there will be more. Winter in Madrid is also awfully good though entirely different (also CJ Sansom)

I love the Shardlake books too. Am studying law at the moment, so even pretend that reading them counts as studying rather than slacking...

Just to say that I loved 'Winter in Madrid' as well.

I just finished Sovereign and have DH reading them as well now. Dark Fire is my favourite so far.

I've just been and add the whole series plus Winter in Madrid to my wish list. Oh dear, this kindle is proving to be very expensive!

Love C J Sansom (and probably also have a tiny crush on Shardlake ). I powered my way through the entire series in a fortnight and loved every word of it. I've heard that he isn't planning to write any more Shardlake books...I hope to God he changes his mind or I'll be very very distraught

Theres a new book in the Shardlake serious which is due for release in september. I've pre ordered it.

oooooo. I love you shelleylou

I cant wait for it to come out. DH will lose me till i finish it.. Shame it isnt already out

That's good news, it'll give me time to get through the rest of the books

I might reread the first 4. I think it took my about a month to get through them first time round. I read to quick and i got really stuck into them very quickly

Can the books be read in any order?

possibly as they are all different stories. I read them in order because of the character development and Shardlakes history

I love them too!
