This is another good book in this series, and has some very good writing of disturbing religious views of the time. As with other books, CJ Sansom brings Tudor England to life with excellent detail and feel for the period. That said, I hope that is the end of all the murder and misadventure for Matthew Shardlake, such a lovely man deserves some well earned peace and quiet!!

Love, law and literature battle against guilt and genocide in this well written but disappointingly slight novella based in immediately post-war Germany. Such are the resonances and importance of the themes, and indeed the earnestness of the intent it seems mean not to like it. But this reader at least felt a little manipulated by the deliberate simplicity, the po-mo storytelling and the disappointing denouement. A young German falls in love with and has a steamy affair with an older woman. Later as a law student he discovers her brutal history as a concentration camp guard and attends her trial for one repellent incident. Is he guilty for loving her? Can evil ever be understood on a personal level, or should it be just condemned? Is condemnation ... Read More:

I really enjoyed this book, and have subsequently enjoyed everything else I have read by this author. This book has it all for me, murder, political intrigue, religious zeal, romance and Tudor England. He captures the feel of the time very well, the historical detail is excellent. It comes as no surprise to find he is a historian! I highly recommend this book.

I found this quite a tough read. I spent the whole book wondering why it has led to so many supposed teenage rebellions, and kept thinking 'something is going to happen in a minute' but sadly, it didn't. It was one of the few books I've ever read that I was glad to have finished. It was boring & uneventful; maybe that was what caused so many people to go out & break stuff.

This is another excellent book by CJ Sansom, murder and political intrigue in Tudor England. The author captures the period very well, with great attention to detail that bring Tudor times to life. Well worth reading.

This is another great read by CJ Sansom. As Matthew Shardlake travels to Yorkshire there are some interesting encounters ahead! The author brings to life the wide cultural differences, the religious and political problems and difficulties of distance in Tudor England. I particularly enjoyed the details of the huge Court following the King around the country. Highly recommended.

I did get through this book, but struggled and had it not been our book group selection this month I would have abandoned it long long before the end. I absolutely could not feel anything at all for Helen or many of the other characters for that matter, hard though I tried. I thought the whole story was stupid and get the impression that the author is 'clutching at straws' here. So much was unexplained and unresolved, but at the root of it was that I could feel no empathy for the characters and couldn't care less how it all turned out. Don't waste either your money or your time.

I bought this at Heathrow, in something of a hurry, and chose it because of the title and the cover: the picture on the front and the reviews on the back. I was drawn in initially and settled down for an enjoyable read but was soon questioning the plausibility of the plot and the over-use of coincidence. The characters were one-dimensional and unreal whilst many comments and descriptions were repetitive and laboured. I didn't finish the book and gave up when I could no longer bear to read, even one more time, of the heroine's 'threadbare' coat. I read for escapism but always hope to learn something and I enjoy stories about a time and place of which I know very little. Winter in Madrid, however, cannot bear comparison to books such as A Suitable Boy, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid ... Read More:

There is no doubt whatsoever that this book is a class work, its writing is strong, captivating and poetic - but only if thats what you are looking for.
To enjoy this book you need to be seeking deep feeling and most importantly be willing to lay your emotions open such that the book can affect you, because that is its goal - to draw you in and touch you. If that sounds like your goal then get in here. Personally I found the book to be a serious drag, it was difficult to get into and, though it flows well, was no page turner. The story, whilst feeling original and progressing well did not hold my interest. The characters were well described and became familiar, in a way that was rather subtle. Despite this, somehow, they did not hit the spot. >>More Details |

This is the first Steinbeck book I have read.
I look forward to reading many more. A simple and touching study of loneliness and all it entails. >>More Details |
