A 1920s Easter Murder Mystery in the depths of rural Yorkshire A scoundrel lies dying, he makes his confession; his sins were despicable, and he wants to atone for his wasted life. He bequeaths an invaluable gift to Monks Hood Abbey, an ancient monastery set in a lonely corner of the Yorkshire moors. But sin throws a long shadow and corruption crawls in its shade.

Another fantastic tale

The Lenox mysteries are so entertaining and well done. I love the clever writing with a dash of humor. The audio performance is always excellent, so consistent, and adds so much color to the colorful cast.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would not recommend this book to anyone who I considered a friend without giving them the contact information for the local suicide hotline. The story was extremely depressing and really didn't need to be.
What was most disappointing about C. J. Sansom’s story?
The ending was unreasonably sad. The main character had a bittersweet life which continued to sour. Sansom could have let him have some happiness at least.
Have you listened to any of Gordon Gordon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't think I have heard him perform before, but he was magnificent.
Did Winter in Madrid inspire you to do anything?
Yes. It inspired me to not read Dominion. If Sansom writes another Shardlake mystery, however, I will give it a shot. I have listened to all of those--that's the only reason I bothered with Winter in Madrid.
Any additional comments?
Sansom is a skilled writer whose ability to paint with words is marvelous. If I were to see any of his characters on the street I feel sure I would recognize them--they seem that clear and that real. His works are exceptionally well researched and very true to the period and events he tries to capture. The plots are excellent, including the one for this book. This book starts a little slow, but there was a lot of groundwork to lay. The pace picks up at the end of part one and he builds suspense steadily until the end. I just hated to see the story end with such despair and lack of hope, especially for Harry--I couldn't help but feel that he might have been better off to have died at Dunkirk.
