Media Reviews

With this installment in the Matthew Shardlake series, I think I can safely say that CJ Sansom has taken his place as my second favorite modern author (Sharon Kay Penman being my favorite). I have given this book some time to swirl around in my mind since I finished it, and I'm still not sure that I can do it justice. As Shardlake works on the case, he realizes there is a political link, after all. Torn between keeping the king out of the investigations and exploring every possible suspect, Shardlake’s job isn’t easy. No one wants the added pressure of the king scrutinizing their every move, and so, it is Shardlake’s job to ensure the king doesn’t know anything about the murders—and the potential link to Catherine Parr.

Aunque la historia está bien, de hecho creo que incluso la trama principal está más trabajada que alguno de los libros previos, no me ha llegado a enganchar tanto y eso se ha notado a la hora de leerlo. Las secundarias que se entrelazan con la principal, han cumplido sin más y al final aunque el conjunto luce bien y es agradable, le falta un algo que no ha terminado de satisfacerme del todo. Como comentaba seguramente ha sido el momento de leerlo, pero en cualquier caso hay que evaluar a razón de lo leído y disfrutado, y mi disfrute ha sido notable, pero muy lejos del excelente. Not without critical acclaim as well, he’s also managed to garner his fair share of awards over the years too. Winning the 2005 Ellis Peters Historical Dagger for his novel ‘Dark Fire’, he has continued to attract the attention of the critics. His Shardlake series have also been recommended highly as well, winning the ‘Dagger in the Library’ award in 2007. Moving on, he continues to progress as a writer as he hones his craft always adapting and improving. With more books on the horizon he is sure to carry on this success as his audience expands further and further. This looks as if it will carry on from now on into the foreseeable future.

Schoolboy rivalries in the Spanish civil war A review of Winter in Madrid, in Telegraph, 26 February 2006 In his notes at Revelation's end, Sansom made parallels between the religion during this period and some contemporary Christian fundamentalists, who each selectively read the Bible, believe that they're living in the last days before Armageddon, look forward to the violence predicted in the Book of Revelation, and are certain of their rightness.
