Status Updates From Lamentation (Matthew Shardl...

20/55 I thought Barrak would die. Earlier today I vaguely remember reading somewhere that either barrak dies or Matthew ends up with a new assistant in the final book (I’m assuming it will end up being Nicholas). I’ll truly be heartbroken if it’s true and the final mystery is with a new sidekick. I 100% think I could write a medieval mystery. But what period? Hopefully BARRAK doesnt die from poison on the blade

16/55: early prediction- the key was passed from lord Parr to young Cecil who made the key duplicate and had access to the chest. Shardlake has already pointed out his cleverness and made a comment about him being above the rest of men (something to that effect). Plus his connections to the radical movement of Protestants is repeated. Did I solve it a third of the way through?

Even by switching to the audible audio edition it still lists progress in pages or percent. Last shardlake book I did audio as well and listed chapter in the page section- this time around I’ll find the percent by chapter. Using 55 chapters total (53 actual chapters plus epilogue and historical note) so I’m on chapter 7/55=0.127. Just got to C. Parr and wowza! Askew, missing book very similar to FIREBRAND movie
