Summer, 1584. Sir Francis Walsingham, spymaster to Queen Elizabeth, has long suspected an undercurrent of Catholic resistance in the city that was once England's greatest centre of pilgrimage. He calls Giordano Bruno, his maverick secret agent, away from his post at the French Embassy to investigate. But when Bruno arrives in Canterbury, he has no idea of the dark secrets he's about to uncover. He must turn his detective's eye on history--on Saint Thomas Becket, the twelfth-century archbishop murdered in Canterbury Cathedral, and on the legend surrounding the disappearance of his body--in order to solve the crime.… (més)

Having read Heresy and Prophecy, I had certain expectations from Sacrilege. The book didn't disappoint. The novel is set during the times of Papist inquisition in England. Bruno plays the spy for Walsingham. The novel starts off with a murder, for which Bruno is obligated clear his friend, Sophie's name. However, things change when he reaches Canterbury.

Great plot and superb narration! The book has everything I expect from a historic fiction set during medieval times. ( )

More great fun! These books are real page turners. I don't think there is anything very innovative about them. They're murder mysteries that follow the standard formula. But that leaves plenty of room for creative plot twists, period details, and of course the wonderful Giordano Bruno. He has a short discussion here with Queen Elizabeth on the idea of the infinite universe. ( )

Giordano Bruno, the excommunicated monk attached to both the French embassy and the spy network of Sir Francis Walsingham, is lured to Canterbury by still another troubled attachment.

In 1584, Bruno thinks he’s put Sophia Underhill, whom he loved in vain in Heresy (2010, etc.), behind him. And so he has, but only in the sense that she’s dogging his steps in London disguised as a boy. When he recognizes her, she appeals once more for his help. Sir Edward Kingsley, the much older magistrate to whom her aunt married her off after an illegitimate child exiled her from the life she’d known, has been brained with a crucifix in Canterbury Cathedral under conditions that echo the martyrdom of Thomas Becket and make Sophia the obvious suspect. Only Bruno, she insists, can vindicate her by unmasking her hated husband’s killer. Under protest, Bruno persuades Walsingham to dispatch him to Canterbury, ostensibly to report back on the doings of Dr. Harry Robinson, the spymaster’s man inside the Cathedral Chapter, but secretly accompanied by Sophia, still disguised as Kit. He soon identifies several other promising suspects: Sir Edward’s wastrel son Nicholas; physician/alchemist Dr. Ezekiel Sykes; and cathedral gatekeeper Tom Garth, whose sister Sarah died in the Kingsley home nine years ago under mysterious circumstances. In the meantime, however, Bruno stumbles into much deeper waters, from the disappearances of a number of young boys to a plot to revive the Becket cult, dormant ever since the disappearance of the saint’s bones, to a conspiracy involving the alchemical theories of Paracelsus and Hermes Trismegistus. Instead of flying below the radar, as Walsingham bade him, Bruno finds himself swiftly making influential enemies as well.
Densely textured but slow-moving, with a mystery whose tangled mess of multiple plots and plotters is only partly resolved by Bruno’s trial for murder, attempted murder and larceny.

Great Book! ( )
  LiteraryW | Mar 19, 2018 |
Of the first three books in this series, this is certainly the best. The plot is convoluted but very clearly developed and the "who-dun-it" element retained until the last few pages. It benefits from a very fast pace and, after the initial set-up the classic unities of time, place and action. I am not drawn to Bruno as a character, but he serves as useful means for Parris to explore the ideas and attitudes of Elizabethan England. I look forward to book 4 in the series. ( )

"Parris creates some genuine chills in scenes set in spooky crypts, and masterfully mixes political intrigue, action, and sleuthing."
