Publisher Description
Shakespeare lover, bookshop owner and now amateur sleuth, Beatrice Hathaway finds herself searching for answers to life's great questions when she accidentally buys a bookshop in England. With another failed relationship under her belt, she arrives in the real home of Shakespeare, in search of the truth. Pratford-upon-Avon with its quaint Tudor cottages, cobbled streets, old English pub and a whole host of characters seems the perfect escape - so what could possibly go wrong?
-
When Charles Deverill, a newspaper tycoon and the owner of Deverill Manor is found poisoned, the night before his Daughter's wedding, the finger of suspicion firmly points at the village's newcomer - Beatrice Hathaway.
With the help of Antony Marsden, an archaeologist from Egypt who's been summoned to the Manor, and Beatrice's only friend in town, they unravel the mystery of the Deverill dynasty, with devastating consequences.

Review
A very charming and fun read. Good characters and a well developed plot. I figured out “who Done It” and the rest, butI loved reading it anyway. Looking forward to more good reading. Way to go.
The Maiming of the Shrew
Fun read. Fast moving and characters you are going to get to know, like, and want to read more about.
The Maiming of the Shrew
The main character comes across as dull, boring and childish. This could’ve been a wonderful story if the main character would have had personality.
