Death and the Shakespeare Shop

Shakespeare's Bookshop, Book 1

This short novella introduces two proprietors of an All-Things-Shakespeare shop. Their devotion to the Bard, along with their frequent invocation of his words, brings them to the attention of his ghostly spirit, still roaming the Earth and seeking those who would be uplifted by Art. Shakespeare has an urgent mission after he makes contact: he has determined that a murder has been committed in his name, and he vows to apprehend the blackguard responsible for the deadly deed before the killer can strike again. This book will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, suspense, romance, humor, cozy settings, and, of course, iambic pentameter.
