Dissolution by C J SansomJust finished this - it's set in the C16th at the time of the dissolution of the monasteries - it's a murder mystery if you like that sort of thing . I'm reading the next one - Dark Fire - now  His most recent one - Sovereign is half price in Tescos

I bought sovereign in asda cos I hadn't realised it was part of a series  Let me know when you finish the second book ALi, and you can borrow sovereign if you like

S'ok Terri - I bought a copy of Sovereign last week thanks  Got the other 2 out the library tho. I think they're still in print tho - I don't think it matters THAT much but I like to read them in the right order myself but each one is a standalone thing. But you do see the main character develop as it goes along.

I think I've got that, somewhere in my library! I will look it out

Turns out I've got both Dissolution *and* Sovereign! Of course now I am faced with the terrible trauma of realising I own a series with one missing!  Must rush out and buy Dark Fire immediately!!!

I read Sovereign a few weeks ago (got it in Waitrose), I didn't realise there had been earlier books about the same character. It was a very good read and much more informative about the period than my A level history! I will derfinitely go and get the first two books now. |

I am halfway through Dissolution (thanks for the heads up Ali). It really is a brilliant book, I will definitely be getting the next two
|

Glad you like it Jo!! I'm on the next - Dark Fire - at the mo
|
| CJ |
I must check out audible and see if they have it for next month
|
| pictish |
They didn't when I last looked CJ - just the third one Sovereign 
|
| CJ |
oh well, I'll have to look at tescos and get the first two - oh, I'll actually have to read something for once!!! |
| pictish |
I think Tescos still have the Sovereign one as a proper book for £3.73
|

I'll get DH to have a look when he does the food shopping next week. 
|
| pictish |
Aha then you won't have to pay out of your pocket money eh
|
| CJ |
what pocket money, he's not given me any this month. 
|
| pictish |
Well you need to cut back his rations IYKWIM

I have just ordered Dark Fire from Ebay, and Play.com have got Sovereign for £3.99 delivered. Will check out Tescos too
|
| CJ |
right. *CJ plans midnight raid on DH's wallet* I hope I don't get arrested. 
|
| pictish |
Oooh yeah you'd better be careful - he's got handcuffs
|
| CJ |
he shocked the kids this morning by coming back at 8am complete with car and kit, as he'd left something behind. Not sure DD recognised him. 
anyway, he's said he'll look out for the books for me, so no need for a raid now.

| pictish |
*Phew*

Ali, I've read one of his books without realising it though not a medeival one, it is called Winter in Madrid and is set briefly in the Spanish Civil War but mostly WW2. I really liked it. I shall have to look out for his other books.

| pictish |
Yes I've seen that one in the library - will definitely try it

I've read the 1st 2 - preferred Dissolution to Dark Fire. But haven't read Sovereign yet Looking forward to that as it's set in York
|
| loobyj |
Ah, now I preferred Dark Fire - think I preferred Jack to Matthew!

I have got Dark Fire sitting waiting on the bookshelf. I thought Dissolution was good too
