"Page-turning historical mystery. I especially enjoy the incidental historical details, such as some women using poisonous deadly nightshade to enlarge their pupils to increase their attractiveness. And Shardlake makes an interesting lead character, he is prejudiced, makes mistakes, and doesn't understand all that is going on. A far more human and sympathetic detective than, say, know-it-all Poirot."
— Lara (5 out of 5 stars)
