I hate to completely trash a book, but I really can't find anything good to say about this one. I am angry that I stuck through to see how it would end up - I wasted my time being curious.I liked the thought of a thriller regarding a lost Shakespeare play, but that is where my liking ended.I found it convoluted, confusing and annoying trying to keep up with the connections that were quickly put together by our heroine and all of the travel.

The novel is well written entertaining and enjoyable read that combines the hunt for a modern day serial killer who kills his victims by re-enacting some of Shakespeares finest death scenes and some possibly true revelations from the life of William Shakespeare himself. Did Shakespeare actually write his own plays and sonnets? Was he really who he said he was? Is there a lost play? You can read the book and make up your own mind.
Unintelligible romp through pseudo history, December 27, 2008 By Alan A. Elsner "Alan Elsner, author" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews I thought that this book, promising a historic romp through Elizbathan England, probing the many mysteries surrounding the life and identity of William Shakespeare, would be just up my alley. It combines several themes I love -- history, thrillers, England and Shakespeare. Unfortunately, it fell far short of its promise. The author clearly loves her history
Totally different writing style than other whodunnits I have read. Once I got into the story, I really liked her style. She definitely knows how to turn a phrase. I will for sure read her next offering...
I found this book to be fast moving, action packed, and engrossing. The life of Kate Stanley, a former Shakespearean academician and current Shakespearean play director, is shaken when her former mentor, Roz, visits her and is then found dead after a fire in the theater where Kate is working. Kate was given a gift by her mentor hours before her death, and it is the first clue to solving a Shakespearean puzzle. Kate chases clues from England to Harvard University to the American southwest, and
