Shardlake continues the second episode in a solid manner but it is not that exciting.
The shadow of Thomas Cromwell looms large in the story, even though the character never appears.
The antagonistic Brother Jerome (Paul Kaye) has plenty to say about the corrupt Cromwell.
Matthew Shardlake continues his questioning of the monks regarding the decapitation of Robin Singleton. He has no time for any demonic entities being the killer such as followers of Satan.
While John Barak just wants to rush the investigation. He has no time for the monk's greed, while children outside of the monastery are starving. He wants to shut it down.
At least there are many dangling threads to the mystery and Shardlake knows it. There is some kind of conspiracy but I do wonder if this will all lead to Thomas Cromwell.
So no quickfire solution but Shardlake managed to fall into the quicksand.
