Interred with Their Bones
Jennifer Lee Carrell
2007
405
Historical Fiction
3 out of 5
TBR
Mighty twisty, overly long and very confusing. Part Historian by Kostova and part Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, this story involves the missing manuscript Cardenno by Shakespeare. It's history, its legend and the secrets that were taken to the grave. Kate Stanley is a Shakespearean expert who unwittingly falls into a clandestine mystery of who was the real Shakespeare and what exactly happened to his missing work. When people die eerily similar to those characters in Ol' Will's works, she must race to the end as she had promised her mentor Roz at whatever the cost. Though this book is fascinating it would be much more so if it wasn't so complicated and written for a true aficionado. I suggest you be well versed in his works and Quixote before you take this book on even though Carrell tries to bring the reader up to speed, I was still left in the dark in many places.
