Where can I get C J Sanson’s new book ‘Ratcliff’ it doesn’t seem to be available anywhere in the UK.

Have you tried the Amazon UK site?

I have been looking forward too to the next instalment. It now appears that this title is a hoax: there is no new Shardlake novel. I gleaned this from the facebook page of the appreciation society for this series. Listings on foreign sites are simply victims of the same hoax.

That’s a shame, we’ve enjoyed the Shardlake series.

His website shows nothing after Tombland.

I know I hark on a bit about this site but it really is good.

Shows nothing after Tombland and that was published in 2018

According to google.books, it was published last August by Random House Canada. Maybe not available in UK yet? Would definitely want to read it, as I love all the Shardlake books.

I understood that C J Sansom was seriously if not terminally ill, so sad, his books are brilliant.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 12-Mar-24 16:49:13

I thought so too.

I thought he was dead?

Have any of his books been televised ?

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 12-Mar-24 18:25:03

I don’t think so. A shame.

Thank you TinSoldier .
I'm looking forward to it .
And thank you to everyone , who is recommending CJSansom .
One blissful thing : I have a huge choice of books for 50p in the local charity shops and rarely buy new .

I have all the Shardlake novels - they sit alongside all the Mantel novels of the same period.

I have read all C J Sansom books. It would be a shame if Tombland was his last. A brilliant writer.

Marmin Wed 13-Mar-24 08:28:13

CJ Sansom was diagnosed with cancer as he began writing Tombland. The book took him twice as long to write as usual.
This was 2018 and since then nothing in the way of news. I will not speculate but just send the author very best wishes.

Looked on Amazon, no mention of Ratcliffe, or how to pre-order. It's strange how little info there is out there about CJ Sansom's current condition.
