Title: 16th Century Historical Mystery
Product review: Dissolution (2003) introduces Matthew Shardlake, a lawyer in Tudor England. It's 1537, and Shardlake has been sent to the Benedictine monastery at Scarnsea, Sussex, by Lord Cromwell to investigate the murder of a king's commissioner. Using reports from the monastery inspection two years early, Cromwell hoped the commissioner could convince the abbott to voluntarily dissolve the monastery. Shardlake soon discovers evidence of sexual misconduct, embezzlement, and treason. Sansom brings the Reformation to life with plenty of atmosphere and a clever plot. Shardlake is a hunchback, but his brilliant intellect more than compensate for his physical limitations. He is compassionate and committed to the ideals of Cromwell's reforms, but is growing increasingly wary of the motives of his fellow reformers as the book progresses.http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/S_Authors/Sansom_C-J.html
