Interred with Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell
4.0
I LOVED this book! Once again, my favourite combination of history, mystery and books.
Interred With Their Bones is a mystery involving a lost Shakespeare play entitled Cardenio (which really is a lost play). It delves into the debate about who wrote the works attributed to Shakespeare (though, thankfully, stops short of attempting a definitive answer), and travels back and forth in time between the early 1600s when the play was written and modern day when clues to the play's whereabouts are being followed and those who get too close are dropping dead. A little romance doesn't hurt either.
This is one of those books that was so richly detailed that I really would like to read it again to discover what I didn't pick up on the first time around, but there are just too many other books on my shelf calling out to be read.
