The Shakespeare Secret | J. L. Carrell
12 posts | 28 read | 20 to read
A woman is left to die as the rebuilt Globe theatre burns. Another woman is drowned like Ophelia, skirts swirling in the water. A professor has his throat cut on the steps of Washingtons Capitol building. A deadly serial killer is on the loose, modelling his murders on Shakespeares plays. But why is he killing? And how can he be stopped?

Loved the connection to Shakespeare's MACBETH and the setting in Scotland. Fast-paced and scholarly. I might have to read again and take notes--LOTS to research!

Favorite Quote: “If [magic] exists, it doesn't matter a toss whether you believe in it or not.“

I need something in between pick and so-so for this one. It was fun and intriguing, and I will even likely read it again since it was gifted to me and I found all the Shakespeare scholarship fascinating, but it fell short of being great. I think I just had too hard of a time understanding some characters‘ background and motivation and it felt like the author was trying too hard to insert action and adventure that at times didn‘t make sense.

What more could anyone want than a story about a serial killer and Shakespeare? Super cool concept, and I loved the amount of detail and history the author put into this story! I figured out the murderer early on but still very much enjoyed it. ☀️☀️☀️🌤 #readharderchallenge #bookaboutbooks @bookriot #litsychallenge #bookaboutmusic/theatre @jessica #readingforfunmmd #bookaboutbooks

cleoh @bedandabook I love the idea of leaving books for travellers. I always write a little note in the front of the book before I leave it. Yay bookfairy friends! 7y
