New website is launched
CJ Sansom’s new site is now online and is a great introduction to the work of this #1 bestselling author. Sansom is well known for his historical thrillers in the Matthew Shardlake series.
Gripped by intrigue in Tudor times
Jane Jakemen has reviewed Heartstone for the UK’s Independent newspaper.
“Shardlake, who has arrived in Portsmouth in pursuit of the ward, finds himself hauled painfully aboard one of the King’s ships. The name painted on her side is Mary Rose. Sansom brilliantly exploits the hindsight that we bring to the historical novel, for we turn the pages with bated breath, waiting for the inevitable, wondering who will survive. Life aboard the ship, top-heavy, crowded with soldiers and sailors, is rivetingly described. It’s a long struggle for Shardlake, but the hill of truth is well worth climbing.”
