Title: A Dark and Frightening Historical Mystery
Product review: "Dissolution" was a page turner! The mystery was well set up, and I found myself reading in every spare moment, hoping to guess who the murderer was. I managed to prevent myself from peeking at the end (a bad habit of mine), but it was a struggle. Of course, as I suspected almost every character in turn, I was still wrong.The plot moved quickly, and I was impressed with the way all the pieces of it fitted together at the end. The setting seemed accurate and not overly modern, though it did not transport me like the best historical ficion should.I really liked the main character, the hunchback lawyer Matthew Shardlake. He was sympathetic, but flawed and human--a far cry from the superhuman hunk heroes of some mystery/thrillers. I look forward to reading his further adventures.
