 Excellent small adventure October 30, 2008
Ms Harris has done it again. I got my first copy of the Shakespeare's series and devoured it in one sitting. First of all the book is too short. No, not really but I like the characters, the way they think and I like Ms. Harris and the way she writes. The characters are cleanly drawn and the writing is tight and moves apace. The only thing is- this book is not good for bedtime reading. Your imagination is afoot and you are awake after reading this.
These books are great! October 16, 2008
While MS harris has many different series going, this Series along with her Southern Vampire series are the best. Her whole idea for her main characters is creative and fasinating and gives the reader an adventure that others haven't repeatedly redone and is new. If you like mysteries and unusual decrtives, these books are good one to read.
Great introduction to a new type of heroine September 22, 2008
Ms. Harris focuses on developing the main character in this 1st book of the Lily Bard series. Lily Bard is compelling, tough and smart. Even though she had a terrible past, you never feel sorry for her. You admire her strength and her guts. She doesn't think of herself as a victim and just wants to live her life but all that changes when she stumbles onto the body of a local landlord.
The store is well told, detailed and rich. The pacing is steady and well thought out.
I've never lived outside a large suburban city, but Ms. Harris writes with such vivid descriptions, I can almost see the details of everything around the characters.
Excellent read. After reading this 1st book, I went out and hunted down the other four in this series and read them all in a week. I just couldn't put them down. The series is just so good.
This is a must read for anyone who appreciates a solid, well told mystery with a well developed, very self-aware, believable, flawed and fascinating protagonist with a bit of baggage.
Loved it!!!! September 17, 2008
I am a huge fan of Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire novels, so I decided to give this a shot. I am so glad I did! The heroine is a strong, complex and fascinating character.
Lily Bard has moved to Shakespeare, Arkansas and made a quiet life for herself. She does her job as a cleaning lady, goes to her martial arts classes and minds her own business. Then, someone in her sleepy little town gets killed....and she gets dragged into the middle of things.
I fell in love with this series and had to rush out to buy the rest of them. It was great to have such a strong female character! I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes mysteries.
