dbroebuck96 's review for:
Revelation
by C.J. Sansom
More first-rate historical mystery fiction by unfortunately the now-late C.J. Sansom. This a dark turn for the series which some people may not like; there is a fair amount of gore in this one and deals with the dark sides of religious fervour and madness in the highly religious but fractious society that is 16th Century England. I often didn't want to put this one down, saying to myself "one more chapter!". Shardlake faces off against one of his most dangerous and capable targets yet: a serial killer whose murders are inspired by the Book of Revelation, in a kind of Tudor 'Se7en'.
Sansom's characters are well-drawn and I'm really coming to enjoy these characters, flaws and all. I'll be reading the next one before long, I just hope Sansom keeps the magic coming and I haven't just experienced 'the peak' of this series.
