I love the intricate mixing of fiction and history, and particularly this period of English history 16th century. Another great Shardlake, in which Matthew has a client in Bedlam.

Overall it's still a splendid mystery. Naturally Shardlake develops an affection for a woman who is out of his league, the widow of a murdered friend (I wish he'd just find a nice lady and settle down frankly) but this is something that happens in most of the books, and is easily ignored - it's probably the most noticeable repetition that Sansom indulges in, along with slightly wooden female characters. I am a hopeless fan of Shardlake.
These scenes are done especially well, and are often hard to read, given the terrible conditions.
