Query: A Step Back in Time

In Dissolution, Sansom introduces us to his main character, Matthew Shardlake, the compassionate and sensitive hunchbacked lawyer. Sansom gives us the rich flavor of Tudor England, through speech, descriptions of the buildings, clothing styles, animals, politics, religion, and even tweeks our sense of smell! All this a rich backdrop for Medieval murder. I was encouraged by my well-read sisters, to begin this journey, and, since doing so, I have been entranced! But as they suggested, I strongly encourage you to begin with this book in the series! I gave it a 4-star rating, as the murder mystery aspect was not quite as nail biting as the later books in the series, but make no mistake, this book is a treasure! Enjoy!
