For anyone enjoying #Shardlake on ITV, please think about reading the source novels by the late, great #CJSansom. They really are like stepping back in time, with a richness of character, plot, and place that will keep you hooked from the first page.
Even if historical novels aren’t your usual oat milk latte, the storytelling and prose will have you hooked as Shardlake investigates a grisly murder in a monastery at the time of Cromwell and Henry XIII. This is a terrific detective novel pure and simple #CJSansom#Dissolution

Very sad that we have now lost both those Holbeins of literature, who so brilliantly evoked the Tudor world. #HilaryMantel#CJSansom RIP. Your works live on.
Very sad to learn that #CJSansom has died. His historical novels set in the court of Henry VIII, and the unforgettable lawyer/sleuth #Shardlake, made every one of his books a much anticipated event. Gone too soon, RIP.
