Sansom’s sixth Shardlake novel, “Lamentation”. Can Shardlake and his friends save the queen from the heresy hunt in time? The stakes could never be higher in C.J. When Matthew Shardlake’s main supporter, Queen Catherine Parr’s book Lamentation of a Sinner, goes missing, Shardlake must navigate the religious divide carefully to retrieve the missing manuscript before it is discovered. Those who own books that were deemed “controversial” were under a shroud of suspicion. Executions over faith, like the death of Anne Askew, run rampant across London. With such distinct factions, those are not Protestant or Catholic, like the Anabaptists, are deemed heretics and they are hunted down. Rumors swirl that the once-mighty King Henry VIII is gravely ill and his councilors, both Protestants and Catholics, are vying for power to see who will help Henry’s young son, Edward when he becomes king. The year is 1546 and England is once again in turmoil.

I was expecting him to be addicted to her and what she brought out in him, but the first part of the book is very much the opposite. The first chapter introduces her as an eerie character that responds whenever Edgar seeks her out, whether or not he wants to. I thought her petulant, almost child-like, throwing tantrums whenever Edgar would not do exactly as she wanted. Lenore is a fascinating character (and muse), but I did not enjoy her chapters in the beginning. It fits the slow-paced and sleepy setting, and how Edgar reacts to his muse that changes his world – shocked, disbelieving – is made even more apparent because of this. The book itself is drawn-out, but that only works to benefit it. His journey throughout the book draws you in you simply have to find out what happens. Her characterization of Edgar is careful, sensible, unsettling, yet deeply revealing – almost exactly like his works. The setting is impeccable and carefully designed to fit the story, and it’s truly a testament to how much love Winters must have for Edgar Allen Poe and his works. You are transported to the snowy landscape of Richmond, Virginia, to a point where you feel the smoke from their antique fireplaces suffocating you.

Actually it could be a cat, from behind, with its tail waving in the air. Plus it's a lovely shape on the map it looks as if it's moving, like an octopus swimming in the ocean – a four legged octopus.
