C. J. Sansom
This riveting debut set in 1534 England secured C. J. Sansom’s place “among the most distinguished of modern historical novelists” (P. D. James). When Henry VIII’s emissary is beheaded at an English monastery, hunchbacked lawyer Matthew Shardlake is dispatched to solve the crime. But as he uncovers a cesspool of sin, three more murders occur - and Matthew may be the next target.

The performance was so amazing that most times it felt like I was listening to the audio track of a Masterpiece Theatre series.
I am now looking for more from the team who produced this wonderful piece.

What made the experience of listening to Dissolution the most enjoyable?
I was not sure what I ordered at the time but was pleasantly surprised. Alot of details twists and turn not expected. Even the part near the end when I broke my Kindle and had to wait 3 days for new one to come in so I could finish the story. Ugh! Do not lean your elbows on your e-readers folks! Forgot it was there I was so engrossed in the book. Just order another book from CJ Sansom.What did you like best about this story?
Details keep you hooked for hoursHave you listened to any of Steven Crossley’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I have not but it was very enjoyable as if he wrote the book and knew the story inside out.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Medival mysteryAny additional comments?
Caution this writer is addictive. LOLCJ SANSOM is great.

The Dissolution referred to in the title is the disbanding of the formerly papist abbeys in the now Protestant England.Another commissioner who was sent to an abbey has been found beheaded and Cromwell wants to know what happened and wants to know quickly. Matthew Shardlake struggles with solving the crime while also struggling with his growing disillusion with Cromwell.
An interesting blend of mystery and history! Recommended!.
Great Mix of History and Mystery

Also a v good first writing. It certainly captured the age. A little less odious repetition would have improve the book (IMO). As a descriptive adjective it was a shade over used. We know … it stunk!
Ty for an excellent read.
Good historical story; Excellent storyteller (reader)!
