Revelation by C.J. Sansom
5.0
Excellent addition to a remarkable series. Like its three predecessors, this one was virtually unputdownable.
I do have a bit of a quibble, though, about two minor points which made me raise an eyebrow:
(1) A character is anachronistically referred to as "Mrs. Bunce" half a dozen times, before reverting to the period correct "Mistress Bunce".
(2) A major character is introduced as "Sir Gregory Hasrnet" but although he gets lots of screen time, not a single time does anyone refer to him or address him as the obvious "Sir Gregory".
Like I said, these are minor points but they stood out sorely for me in a series that had been so far extremely meticulous about period verisimilitude. I hope that editorial standards are not slacking now. Well, I'll have to find out in Book #5.
And, finally, a trigger warning. No, not about gruesome and grisly murders. You expect those going in, don't you? Something else which made me very sad.
