Book recommendation : "Sovereign" CJ Sansom


CJ Sansom's historical mystery novels set in Tudor England are superb and really bring the period to life. This one is set in 1541 where Matthew Shardlake, the hunchback lawyer, investigates the mysterious murder of a stained-glass window fitter in York and uncovers secrets that threaten Henry VIII's position as King. Brilliant stuff.

I can say without fear of contradiction my latest blogpost is far more interesting and exciting.

I don't want to knock your blog, however it is hardly a gripping mystery novel set in Tudor England.

Niether is yours, Spara. Unless you think mentioning Sansom's potboilers on your blog automatically makes it good. I bet you didn't even follow the link.

And you didn't find it interesting? You're clearly not a TRUE fan.
