Well that was the best 20p I've ever spent! Absolutely loved it. I found it a lot easier to read than Winter in Madrid - I remember finding the politics in WiM a bit hard going because I wasn't very familiar with the Spanish Civil War. However, no such problems this time as Sansom ...

Still, it prompted a much ...

Michael Deacon has started a trend... Have a look at this morning's Guardian review of Inferno, which is released today:
