After reading the first three Shardlake novels and thinking nothing else would compare, I found the two books by Follett were VERY good companions.

Lezlie, Matthew’s assistant is Jack Barak. He has problems with his marriage in this one. Sadly Guy’s part in this wasn’t big enough for me.

Zetor,yes the smells, sights and sounds are all there.

Lisa, they’re great books for those extra details.

Stuck in a Book, glad you could gather I loved it!

Kay, I’m still dithering what to read next.

Danielle, those teeth – ugh! I haven’t gone back to Les Mis yet. I seem to be “between books”.

Table Talk, I do hope the book gets to you soon. Can you check where you are on the reservation list?

I always find it fascinating, too, to read about medical procedures and all the other little details of daily life in other times. That’s what I think I most like about historical fiction! I had no idea they used real teeth in dentures–eek! And by the way, I’m working my way very slowly through Les Misérables!

I loved it!", don't you! And sometimes the most erudite reviews can't say as much as that enthusiasm. You put both techniques together wonderfully :-) Sometimes you do just want to say “I loved it!

The thing that interests me the most about the book is the detail it gives about the things you mention like the dentures and the thoughts on medicine at the time.

I'm with you. I like the character of Guy a lot. It sounds like he may get a bigger part in the one than in the last. And I love Matthew's assistant, whose name currently escapes me. . .<br/><br/>You should read the Catherine Parr book next. I want to know how that one is, too! :-)<br/><br/>Lezlie I know I’m repeating myself, but I’m sooo jealous!! :-) It’s good to know this will be worth the wait though. I’m with you.
