I'm reading the third Matthew Shardlake mystery by C.J. Ransom, Sovereign
. I was amazed at how I felt transported back to the reign of Henry the VIII by the very first page. Do you get that same feeling?Here are the first three sentences of the book (because I am a Teaser Tuesday scofflaw).
It was dark under the trees, only a little moonlight penetrating the half-bare branches. The ground was thick with fallen leaves; the horses' hooves made little sound and it was hard to tell whether we were still on the road. A wretched track, Barak had called it earlier, grumbling yet again about the wildness of this barbarian land I had brought him to.

Glad to know that the series continues to be good. Enjoy!
Here is my teaser from Expiation by Greg Messel (page 1):
My sudden and unexpected return to Seattle was about to trigger a chain of events which completely change my life. Three months from this date my career, my life in San Francisco with my daughter and everything I had known before would be radically altered.
I read all these Shardlake mysteries this summer upon your recommendation of the first. I enjoyed them --very much! Thank you.
This sounds like a series I should check out... (and I'm a fan of scofflaws. ;)
Here's mine...
