Shakespeare's Counselor

The Lily Bard Mysteries, Book 5

By: Charlaine Harris

Narrated by: Julia Gibson

Cleaning woman and karate expert Lily Bard is a woman with a complicated past. Trying her best to cope with her terrifying memories and horrible nightmares, she decides to join a weekly group therapy session in her hometown of Shakespeare, Arkansas.

At first, Lily can hardly believe the number of her fellow Shakespeareans who share her life experiences. As it turns out, the group members' feelings aren't the only things that need sorting out - they assemble for a session and find a woman dead, killed in bone-chilling fashion and deliberately left on display to send a twisted message. Who would commit such a horrendous crime, and who is the intended recipient of the message?

Critic reviews

"Infectious prose, engaging characters, crafty plotting." ( Library Journal)

Another great time

I love all of her series and never want them to end. Brava I am so thrilled with this story

Great ending to a great series

I’m enjoyed the book. The end left me satisfied, the growth of the characters. Still a little confused how Bobo goes from rich kid close with his family to his character in Midnight, but oh well.

Good

I wasn’t a big fan of this series. I liked the quick and to the point stories but I wasn’t a fan of Lily. Great plots and some greats twists. I would recommend it to someone that loves mystery.

interesting

Wow this was a lot darker than expected. The culprits of the main mystery was really dark and twisted people. I was hooked by the red herring and did not see the ending until it was pretty obvious. I'm wondering if there is a short story or something out there that ties the period between this and when the couple shows up in the Southern Vampire series.

Again, a very easy listen and I thoroughly enjoyed it

It’s Time For A Return to Shakespeare

I have loved listening to the tales of Lily Bard and watching her change throughout some very unique situations. I would appreciate a revival of Lily”s life. Her approaches to problem solving are thought provoking in many ways. Her honesty is legend. She’s just too “damn” smart to be retired.
