Having read the novel a few years ago as well as all the subsequent books in the Shardlake series, and in the absence of a new novel, I was looking forward to this BBC radio dramatization which I'd missed as live broadcasts. I was not disappointed and found this an excellent CD accompaniment to a two and a half hour road trip. Sansom is a great story teller and this audio play renders the tale well. I have already ordered the next two recordings in the series and I believe there will be two to follow this year. Very happy to recommend. C. J. SANSOM The cast did a credible job in delivering their lines but the story was a weak imitation of The Name of the ROSE C. J. SANSOM A very well executed dramatisation. It was easy to tell whether the characters were outside or inside and who each of them were. The story is also a very good abridgement of the book, keeping all the atmosphere and important events are well paced. C. J. SANSOM I enjoyed listening to this, great story and cast, now on to next chapter. C. J. SANSOM Having read this C J Sansom novel and listened to the wonderful abridged 6 disc audiobook read by Anton Lesser, I wondered how this would stand up to a BBC 2 hours dramatisation. I needn't have worried. The story is complete, the acting and adaptation are excellent and the whole thing is very atmospheric with great sound effects. Even if you already know this story you will enjoy it again in this form. The BBC gets many criticisms but one thing it excels at is radio drama. C. J. SANSOM
A thrilling BBC Radio 4 full cast dramatisation based on CJ Sansom's bestselling Tudor crime novel. Winter, 1537. Henry VIII has declared himself Supreme Head of the Church, and instructed his chief minister Thomas Cromwell to dissolve England's religious houses and seize their wealth. But Cromwell's plot to bring down the abbeys has hit a snag – one of the King's Commissioners has been found brutally murdered in Scarnsea monastery, on the south coast of Kent. If news of the killing were to get out, the consequences could be disastrous. Desiring a quick, discreet result, he sends his trusted lawyer detective, Matthew Shardlake, to investigate. However, as Shardlake interviews the prime suspects and delves deeper into the mysteries of Scarnsea, it soon becomes clear that the case will not be as simple to solve as he had hoped. Which of the terrified monks is the murderer? And can Shardlake catch him before he strikes again? CJ Sansom's 'Shardlake' series has sold over two million copies, and this atmospheric dramatisation starring BAFTA winning actor Jason Watkins (The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries) brings his début novel to electrifying life. Fast paced and suspenseful, it is both an engrossing murder mystery and a brilliantly realised portrayal of Tudor England. Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.
