C J Sansom

I knew he was very ill. I have read all his books. Sad to hear he has died.

So sorry to hear that, particularly as his first Shardlake novel has been filmed, by Disney.

eazybee I know. It's particularly sad that he died just as it was being shown by Disney and introducing Shardlake to a wider audience.

I enjoyed his books and am sad to hear this news.

So sad, his books are enthralling, so well researched and detailed. I love the Shardlake series good to have a hero who is not tall dark and handsome.
RIP C J Sansom.

Love his books but like others, knew he was seriously ill.

The Matthew Shardlake books are wonderful, it’s sad to think there will be no more of them, but what a great legacy.
RIP CJ Sansom

A sad loss. Respects to his family and friends.

Such sad news. Need to re-read the Shardlake series, they're so good.

Very sad news, I have enjoyed all his books historical and modern. I first discovered him after listening to one of the Shardlake books as a radio play.

So sad he has died, but what a legacy he leaves behind. Thank you for the reading pleasure you brought to us. RIP Christopher.

That’s very sad - I loved the Shardlake books. A TV series comes onto Disney on 1st May. Trailer looks very atmospheric.

There is a lovely tribute to him on Twitter by a friend of his called William Shaw. He had been working on another book but was unable to finish it.

I'm very sorry to hear the sad news.
I have read all but the last of CJ Sansom's books. A loss to the literary world and of course, to his family and friends. A great story teller.
RIP CJ Sansom and thank you for your writing.

Matthew Shardlake, one of my favourite characters in literature.
Thank you, C J Sansom for the many hours of pleasure reading your books, and for the historical insights, so cleverly woven into your stories.

Very well written and engrossing novels. I am looking forward to the Shardlake series on Prime this week. The actor playing him is unknown to me but they have Sean Bean as Thomas Cromwell which could be good.

Apologies. Shardlake is Disney.

What a tragic loss for his readers, one of the very best writers. Simply wonderful books. RIP Christopher.

I've only just discovered him and I'm very sorry to hear about his illness and death .
RIP .

My husband had the same cancer as CJ (multiple myeloma) in fact that was how I discovered his books. I was searching for something to read while my husband was in hospital and found a copy of Dissolution in Tesco. I hadn't read any historical fiction for years, but thought it looked interesting. It's a shame he wasn't able to finish the last book but I can see how the effort of researching and writing will have become too much. Such a loss though.

RIP CJ Sansom.I loved reading the Shardlake books

Add my name to the list of loyal fans of CJ's work.Wonderful stories; excellent plots; Tudor period ( unsurprisingly!)so well researched; brilliant characterisation. Matthew Shardlake, I am full of admiration for you and your creator.
Thank you, CJ

I read this post and looked for the books , turned out I had them on my kindle since 2013 !
No work will be done , I’m engrossed already , why on earth did I not read them before !!

I love the books. RIP CJ.
