It is a first-rate murder mystery and one of the most atmospheric historical novels Ive read in years. --The Mail on Sunday Historical crime fiction is sometimes little more than a modern adventure in fancy dress. Not so the novels of C. J. Sansom, whose magnificent books set in the reign of Henry VIII bring to life the sounds and smells of Tudor England . . .
