Summary
Earning praise on both sides of the Atlantic, C. J. Sansom’s mysteries brim with period detail and tightly woven intrigue. In this fan-favorite series, hunchbacked Matthew Shardlake practices law amidst the political and religious upheaval of King Henry VIII’s court.

Desperate, the parents of a young man fanatically obsessed with salvation employ Shardlake to help get their son released from the Bedlam hospital for the insane.

Already with a full plate, Shardlake is further burdened when a close friend is viciously murdered. After making a promise to the man’s widow to bring the killer to justice, Shardlake further expands his investigation. What he uncovers is a terrifying conspiracy surrounding a Biblical prophecy with
ties to both the boy in Bedlam and King Henry’s latest romantic conquest—Catherine Parr.

In Revelation, Sansom’s mastery of character and atmosphere is on full display.

“Don’t expect to put the book down until you’ve seen it through to the apocalyptic finale.”—Observer

I’ve listened to this series in its entirety and while they’re all great, this one is my favorite. The narrator is magnificent as always. It’s easily a 5 star rating across the board for me. If you’re interested in this book but you’ve not read ‘Dissolution’, please start there and then listen your way through ‘Dark Fire’ and ‘Sovereign’ before beginning this one. Enjoy.
