Dissolution - by C J Sansom

I am never quite sure about historical fiction and don’t always enjoy murder mysteries and this book is essentially both of those. However, as the author is a professional historian, I had some confidence about the accuracy of the context and hoped to learn something about the world in the 16th Century. Overall, I enjoyed the read and found the book to be well paced - it kept me turning the pages. I was mostly impressed by the descriptions of the places and felt the characters were quite well drawn. I think it would make a good movie. I think that I might consider reading more of the Shardlake series.
