This was a very good literary thriller set in London, Harvard and the American southwest. I liked the mix of literary clues set in archives and libraries.

I love well-researched historical mysteries – generally. I enjoyed learning more about Shakespeare, although some conversations in this book went over my head. A couple of plot twists were predictable, and I hated the fact that the protagonist wanted to get her hands on the goal so much she ignored the fact that everyone who helped her got murdered. After the 2nd killing, I think I would have given up and just let “the bad guys” have it. I’ve got 1 CD left before the ending, but I’m moving on to something else.
