4.0 out of 5 stars Mystery, murder and mayhem: York in 1541, May 24 2007

By	J. Cameron-Smith "Expect the Unexpected" (ACT, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sovereign (Paperback)

This is the third Matthew Shardlake mystery and while I recommend reading them in order, the novels largely stand alone. Matthew Shardlake has two missions in York: the first is to assist with legal petitions to the King, the second is a secret commission on behalf of Archbishop Cranmer.

As participants in Henry VIII's progress to the north of England in 1541, Shardlake and his assistant Jack Barak are part of the final episode of 'The Pilgrimage of Grace'. The Pilgrimage of Grace (1536) was the worst uprising of Henry VIII's reign and was a direct result of the dissolution of the monasteries.

Henry VIII was not popular in the north, and the setting is perfect for the latest set of adventures of Matthew Shardlake. This novel is an interesting blend of history and fiction delivered with gritty realism.

Recommended to all who like mysteries based in history.

3.0 out of 5 stars It clunks along, Jul 8 2009

By	Prairie Pal (Winnipeg, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

If you like your historical mysteries fast-moving and riveting, find another book. C.J. Sansom's "Sovereign", the third in the Matthew Shardlake series, is slow-moving and ponderous. Set in York in 1541 at the time of Henry VIII's Progress in the North it is jam-packed with historical detail, much of it accurate. The hunch-backed Shardlake and his strong-armed assistant Barack find themselves caught up in the threat of rebellion, corruption at high levels and the adultery of Queen Catherine Howard. Despite such a vivid setting Sansom's stilted way with dialogue and lugubrious pace keep the book from ever getting too exciting. What it lacks in suspense and pace it makes up for in bulk; in every sense of the word this is a thick book.
