Sacred Treason (Clarenceux Trilogy, 1) par James Forrester
A rattling good yarn in the CJ Sansom idiom. England in the 1560s - not a good time to be a Catholic, but in this book, all the main characters are just that. Well researched both for its political history, and in its sense of time and place, this is a page-turning and exciting book.
I very much enjoyed the first book in this series. But this second one, I couldn't get past about 10%. As soon as I saw that the main character did something really stupid to lose a valuable item, I quit reading. It just seemed too contrived. The main character was portrayed in the first book as being relatively intelligent, so it was too unbelievable that he would do something so dumb. Clearly, the author just used this opening as a device to set off the second novel in the series but a more original start to the book might have kept me engaged. It's like going through agony for days and weeks to find a valuable thing you have lost, only to misplace it again. Like being on a merry-go-round.… (plus d'informations)
