C J Sansom

Oh my husband loves the Shardlake books he'll be disappointed that C J Sansom has died.

I loved the Matthew Shardlake books. They encompassed two of my favourite things in literature - whodunnits and the Tudor period! I’m so looking forward to seeing this programme on Disney+. RIP CJ.

So sad. Loved all the Shardlake books , and really loved Winter in Madrid.

There was a recognition of the author on the first episode on Disney

Has anyone seen Shardlake on Disney yet and what did you think? I love the books so much I'm thinking of subscribing to Disney.

I watched it last night. Not as good as the books but entertaining. They have all 4 episodes up, so quite possible to watch on a month's sub of £4,99 or £7.99.

We enjoyed it, high production values. (Haven't read the books).

A sad loss. I loved the Shardlake novels, maybe I'll start re-reading them.

Absolutely the best historical books ever written, se easy to read, so easy to want to be Matthew’s friend. A wonderful series and both his more modern novels equally brilliant. So sorry that he was so unwell of late. Let’s see what Disney can do with Dissolution

I started watching this afternoon. I never expect film or TV adaptations to be as good as the books but I’m enjoying it so far.

Very sad news. I have all his Shardlake novels as audiobooks. I keep meaning to try some of his others.

Ditto. Very sad. Also loved Winter in Madrid. He was my favourite author

I was very disappointed to find that Shardlake was going to be on a channel that I can`t access. I`ve read all C.J.Sansom`s books apart from Winter in Madrid. I was waiting avidly for the next one.

I am re-reading all the Shadlake novels as a tribute to C. J Sansom. I loved reading the books some years ago and am finding that I am getting even more out of them this time round. I was longing to see if Shadlake would live to see Elizabeth 1 come to the throne. Alas, that wont happen now.
Incidentally, I have found that some of Andrew Taylors books are very good especially the Firecourt series.
