Foregone Conclusion | |
| Shardlake / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: If you know what happened to the Mary Rose, you'll have figured out what will happen to Shardlake's soldier friends who get posted on board said ship long before the climax of Heartstone. | |

Full-Circle Revolution | |
| Shardlake / int_4ef62a4d | comment |
Full-Circle Revolution: Shardlake can see the English Reformation turning into this — replacing a Corrupt Church with an Evil Aristocracy won't improve the lot of the common man at all. | |

Disney Villain Death | |
| Shardlake / int_5bdcc85a | comment |
Disney Villain Death: Following the Climbing Climax of Dissolution, the villain falls to the church floor. Combined with Death by Materialism, as Shardlake is convinced their ill-gotten gains spoiled their balance. | |

MacGuffin | |
| Shardlake / int_a6c69bd | comment |
MacGuffin: Dark Fire sees Shardlake trying to find the secret of Greek Fire, following the discovery of a document on this subject in a dissolved London monastery. This basically becomes an ultimately futile search for a barrel of oil in Tudor-era London. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Shardlake / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In Dissolution, to The Name of the Rose: Scarnsea Abbey has a copy of Aristotle's "On Comedy" - "a fake, of course, thirteenth-century Italian". As with the original, it's stated to end up on the bonfire by the end of the book, along with the rest of the monastery's library. | |
