A long-lost work of Shakespeare, newly found. A killer who stages the Bard’s extravagant murders as flesh-and-blood realities. A desperate race to find literary gold, and just to stay alive. . . . On the eve of the Globe’s production of Hamlet, Shakespeare scholar and theater director Kate Stanley’s eccentric mentor Rosalind Howard gives her a mysterious box, claiming to have made a groundbreaking discovery. But before she can reveal it to Kate, the Globe burns to the ground and Roz is found dead . . . murdered precisely in the manner of Hamlet’s father. Inside the box Kate finds the first piece in a Shakespearean puzzle, setting her on a deadly, high-stakes treasure hunt. From London to Harvard to the American West, Kate races to evade a killer and decipher a tantalizing string of clues, hidden in the words of Shakespeare, that may unlock literary history’s greatest secret. At once suspenseful and elegantly written, Interred with Their Bones is poised to become the next bestselling literary adventure in the tradition of The Thirteenth Tale and The Historian.

Postać Szekspira jako twórcy wybitnych dzieł kultury angielskiej, przynosi wiele zainteresowania i rozważań. Wszystkie tajemnice, którymi okryta jest ta postać i próby ich tłumaczenia w sposób naukowy, prowadzą do dyskusji i kontrowersji. Stały się również inspiracją dla snucia licznych opowieści. "...
I'm really of two minds about this book - the info about Shakespeare and all of the possible candidates for the "Who was Shakespeare?" sweepstakes was absolutely fascinating, and I really appreciated the author's note at the end, which outlines which parts are fact, which are somewhat fictionalized ...
This book deserved exactly two stars. The story itself, is very intriguing, especially if you like "Da Vinci Code-like" mysteries or Shakespearean history. It was the flat static characters that ruined the story for me. Without interesting characters, I simply cannot get involved in a book.
What I liked:Firstly and foremostly I loved the fact that Jennifer Lee Carrell really knew what she was writing about. She is not one of these authors which make factual mistakes, leading their characters on a wild-goose chase to places which don't exist. When she describes a library or a cave you ...
