In 1540, Matthew Shardlake is trying to keep his legal practice going. He finds himself racing against time to try and solve two cases - he’s the defence lawyer for a girl accused of murdering her young cousin, and to try and locate the formula for Greek Fire after the two who claimed to have discovered it have been murdered.

I didn’t enjoy this as much as I did Dissolution or Revelation (books one and four of the series), but the whole thing about Greek Fire was interesting. Four out of five stars.

Book Two of the Matthew Shardlake series

Genre: Historical/Crime Fiction

Pages: 595, including Historical Note, Acknowledgements and the first chapter of Sovereign
