This is the forerunner and I have read a great deal during the Tudor era as well.

Similarly, I also like Follett’s spy novels but had to abandon
Fall of Giants very early and that was done for me in regard to Follet’s historical sagas. As for the
Wolf Hall trilogy, I loved the first book and was hugely disappointed in the second. I’ve got the third on tap and am hoping Mantel reverts to the standard of the first book.
