Rendition In Favor Of Books Lamentation (Matthew Shardlake #6)

As Henry VIII lies on his deathbed, an incendiary manuscript threatens to tear his court apart in the new installment of C.J. Sansom's Shardlake series.

Autumn, 1546. King Henry VIII is slowly, painfully dying. His Protestant and Catholic councillors prepare for a final and decisive power struggle; whoever wins will control the government. The Catholics decide to focus their attack on Henry's sixth wife, the Protestant Queen Catherine Parr. As Catherine begins to lose the King's favour, she turns to the shrewd, hunchbacked lawyer, Matthew Shardlake, to contain a potentially fatal secret.

The Queen has written a confessional book, Lamentation of a Sinner, a memoir so radical that if it came to the King's attention, it could bring her and her courtly sympathizers to ruination. The London printer into whose hands she entrusted the manuscript has been murdered, the book nowhere to be found.

Shardlake's investigations take him down a trail that begins among printshops in the filthy backstreets of London, but leads him once more to the labyrinthine world of court politics, where Protestant friends can be as dangerous as Catholic enemies, and those who will support either side to further their ambition are the most dangerous of all.

Judge Out Of Books Lamentation (Matthew Shardlake #6)

Henry the Eighth is rapidly becoming a defeated man in both body and spirit. Shardlake's loyalty and discretion is called upon, once more, to assist in uncovering intrigue at the royal court. Sansom's Tudor mysteries have been a delight. I have shadowed lawyer Shardlake's life and career, his thoughts and vulnerabilities, through the unforgiving streets of old London. Attention to Tudor detail, mixed with stories that add plot-driven pace make these novels such wonderful, atmospheric reads. They

Another excellent book by C.J. Sansom in the Matthew Shardlake series. This is one of my favourite historical series. Not just because Sansom writes about the period so well with the type of historical detail that makes you visualise the streets of London, the palaces and Inns of Court, but also because he writes such absorbing plots and interesting characters. Even though this is a big book, there is never a moment when the pace drops off or the interest wanes.Henry VIII is near the end of his

Brilliant mystery as hunchback lawyer Shardlake attempts to retrieve an ill conceived booklet written by Catherine Parr which, if discovered, could lead to her execution. A high body count follows as Matthew and sidekick Barak battle many levels of Court intrigue, religious zealots, assassins and the most power hungry men in the kingdom to protect the Queen. Wonderful narrative style, complicated but clever plot lines and a most interesting period of English history - breathtaking read.

C.J. Sansom is at the top of his genre with this set of Tudor era historical mysteries. By mixing legal conundrums with controversies of the time, the reader is easily transported back in time and enveloped in stories that resonate throughout the centuries. England is at war again, though it is no sovereign state that has declared its opposition. Rather, there is a religious clash that continues at a time when Henry VIII seeks to reunite with past foes. While the Catholic/Church of England clash

Another remarkable book in this brilliant series. This is number six and I very much hope that C.J. Sansom is busy right now writing number seven! This one may even be the best in the series so far despite the fact that everything that can go wrong does go wrong for our hero Matthew Shardlake. Matthew is an unusual hero at the best of times, a hunch back lawyer with very little going for him physically. However he is a very honorable man at a time when there was not much honour around which
