ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Dissolution by C.J. Sansom unfolds in 1537 as Thomas Cromwell orders the dissolution of England's monasteries. When Cromwell's Commissioner, Singleton, is found brutally murdered at a monastery, the lawyer Dr. Shardlake is sent to uncover the truth. His investigation plunges him into a world of monastic secrets, conflicting loyalties, and the fear of impending religious upheaval. Shardlake must navigate a complex web of potential suspects and hidden motives within the isolated community as he seeks to solve the murder and understand the forces at play during this turbulent period of history. The book masterfully blends a gripping murder mystery with the historical backdrop of the English Reformation.
