Sansomĭetails about the picture: The book is called Lamentation after Queen Catherine Parr’s book Lamentations of a Sinner, hence I took the picture with lots of books around it.Ībout the author: Christopher John Sansom is an English writer of crime novels. At over 600 pages it tends to feel a bit too long at times. It is a good book, I gave it 5 stars, but, for me, the first one was the best. At home, his servants have their own problems, and those add up to the story. He is also dealing with his own cases which make him end up in the Tower, for the second time. He is involved in finding some murderers at the same time. Matthew Shardlake is called upon to lead the investigation to find it. Catherine Parr had a Protestant leaning and she wrote a book, Lamentations of a Sinner, a confessional memoir. Henry VIII is vacillating between Protestantism and Catholicism, while England is torn between these two factions at the court and their power struggle. Sansom is the sixth book in the Matthew Shardlake series.
