I wouldn’t advise reading this out of series.Essentially, our heroine, Lily Bard, revisits her hometown in order to particip...

Once more Ms Harris gives us an interesting mystery. Lily has to leave Shakespeare for her sister's wedding. going back to her hometown is not something Lily is looking forward to. Everyone there knows about THAT day and she doesn't want to face the pity but this is her sister's wedding. When s...

Don't be misled by the title, "Shakespeare's Christmas" is is not a "Christmas Special" where we get to see the people of the small town of Shakespeare acting as if they were in a remake of "It's A Wonderful Life".

AudiobookLily Bard is so depressing! Maybe it's the narrator who gives her this "I could care less" voice. And all the men sound the same - she might give some more of a southern accents but they're all pretty much the same. It's hard to tell who is who when there is more than one man in a scene....

This series is getting better, but that might be due to her steady relationship. Who knows.
