About Revelation by C.J. Sansom
Set in spring 1543, C.J. Sansom’s historical mystery places Matthew Shardlake amid the religious and political tensions of Henry VIII’s court. The king is pursuing Lady Catherine Parr, whose reformist sympathies draw the attention of Archbishop Cranmer and the Protestant faction.
When an old friend of Shardlake is murdered, his investigation connects the case to a teenage boy held in Bedlam and to prophecies from the Book of Revelation. As further murders fuel talk of witchcraft and demonic possession, the novel draws on its Tudor setting to frame a crime investigation shaped by the beliefs and anxieties of the period.
Readers interested in Tudor history, historical crime, and mysteries rooted in religious conflict may find this fourth Matthew Shardlake novel a fitting choice.
