Looking for a good read? Try Interred with Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell. If you're like me and love research, Shakespeare, and a little action adventure - you'll love this. Think (and the poor author is probably so tired of hearing this . . .) Da Vinci Code - but so much better, which isn't hard because I still haven't forgiven Dan Brown for the sin that was The Lost Symbol (I don't think the man has ever been to Washington, DC or even looked at a Metro map . . .).
The story centers around Kate - a scholar who as given up Shakespeare academia for good and gone in the direction of directing when her mentor shows up with some big news. But life rarely lets anyone in Fiction have good news without a good deal of drama. Or in Kate's case - a murder mystery. It doesn't take long before Kate's being chased by some serious baddies and she's still not sure why . . .
It's a fast paced read and the research bits make me laugh, because I understand them - deeply. And really what researcher doesn't dream of being on an action packed hunt for a hidden gem? Library included.
