dommiz reviewed Heartstone by C. J. Sansom (The Shardlake series -- v. 5)
Review of 'Heartstone' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I do enjoy the Shardlake series, and this is the best one so far. I do not normally enjoy crime novels, but this book is so much more than that, as it really invites the reader to consider what it would be like to live in such a fragile yet fascinating time. Of course Hilary Mantel rules the Tudor era from the 'great men' point of view, but Sansom gets us down to the street level.
