Revelation by C.J. Sansom
4.0
After 100 pages I realized that I accidentally read this novel out of order, I had yet to read [b:Sovereign|138684|Sovereign (Matthew Shardlake, #3)|C.J. Sansom|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1440215651s/138684.jpg|1698960], however it was too good of a story and too late to stop.
It wasn’t difficult to follow Master Shardlake in this adventure, this time the hunchback lawyer investigates a string of murders that are linked to the book of Revelations.
The books are a bit longer than necessary, rambling at times, and Tudor isn’t my favourite historical period, but I’m really enjoying this series. This novel, with its mix of religious fervor, superstition, hysteria and murder, had many parallels with [b:The Name of the Rose|119073|The Name of the Rose|Umberto Eco|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1415375471s/119073.jpg|3138328] and will appeal to readers of historical fiction and mystery genres.
