Heresy |
This is one for the fans of Shardlake and C J Sansom's Tudor mysteries (see previous bwl's). The background is almost the same - just a bit later, for Elizabeth is on the throne. But religious fear and suspicion is everywhere, and nowhere more sharply than among the scholars of Oxford. And it is to Oxford that our hero, ex-monk and scholar, Giordano Bruno, travels to find himself embroiled in murder and intrigue. Good holiday reading.
PS Giordano Bruno was a real person
