historical fiction

Historical fiction has a tendency to feel a little half done and dull. C. J. Sansom however is the living proof that it's possible to write amazingly good historical fiction.

Shardlake is back again. This time with the new title sargent. Once again he has managed to stumble into a case that gets him involved in a high political game.

Sansom has done it yet again. The third book about "Shardlake", a British lawyer in the fifteen hundreds with high contacts, is just as good as the previous two.

After the fantastic experience of "Dissolution" my first thought was that the follow-up "Dark Fire" couldn't possibly be better. Just goes to show how wrong you can be.
