5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative and enticing!, Aug 16 2009
By Joanna (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Revelation (Paperback)
"Revelation" is set against a very lively historical backdrop: Henry VIII is wooing Catherine Parr, court intrigue is at its best, and religious mania is reaching astonishing new heights.

In the midst of all that, Shardlake, a lovable hunchback lawyer is trying to track down a mass murderer.

Impeccable historical detail, strong characterization, great humanity, and evocative writing -- one of my all-time favorites!

5.0 out of 5 stars Apocalyptic Times, Sep 5 2008
By Ian Gordon Malcomson (Smithers, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Revelation (Hardcover)
Here's one of those historical-fiction, murder-mystery thrillers that is worth a read for no other reason than the writer tells a great story that uses both characters and setting to their best advantage. The plotline involves the hero, Matthew Shardlake, a prominent Protestant reform lawyer, operating in the heart of London during the latter years of Henry VIII's reign, These are troubling times because one wrong step and the authorities could condemn you to death for sedition or heresy. While the Henrician church leaders, lead by Bishops Bonner and Gardiner, are on the warpath, Shardlake and his friends are suddenly caught up in pursuing a crazy serial killer who is attacking their own for not being true to the teachings of the Reformation. Sanson does a credible job taking his readers along on this circuitous hunt through the narrow, dingy, and smelly streets of London in hot pursuit of a sadistic murderer who kills with method and madness. The only clues they is a set of verses from Revelation describing in graphic detail God's seven endtime punishments for the earth. In this case, however, they describe quite accurately the modus operandi for slaughtering Shardlake's friends and associates. By a process of elimination and attrition - which is the way most police sleuthing works - we finally get to learn the murderer's true identity, which, ironically, isn't as important as the person he intends to kill as a fulfilment of the seventh plague. As far as historical fiction, "Revelation" is competently written and well-researched.

5.0 out of 5 stars It WAS a Revelation, Jul 31 2008
By Dave and Joe "De Video Darlings" (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Revelation (Hardcover)
My view of this book is very much biased by the fact that I love the character of Matthew Shardlake. I love historical mysteries but I also love to see characters with disabilities placed appropriately in time. Thoughout the whole series Shardlake had to deal not only with startlingly complex mysteries but also with the prejudices he faced with his disability. Wonderfully done. Maybe the best series ever written with an 'outcast' as the main character. Beyond all that ... you like a mystery ... that's the main show here.
