I really enjoyed this as a fifth entry in the Cambridge Bookshop series, it does a great job in creating that suspenseful element that I was looking for in this type of book. I was hooked from the first page, and thought the characters worked well in this setting and thoroughly enjoyed the concept and how they were used. Elizabeth Penney has a strong writing style and am excited to read more in this series and from the author.

Vintage bookstore owner Molly Kimball has her hands full helping her best friend plan a Shakespeare=themed wedding complete with a performing troupe of actors. Unfortunately one of the actors is found floating in the moat surrounded by flowers, ala Ophelia. But who has killed the lead actor Sir Nigel Peck. There was not much love lost for Nigel and there are any number of suspects including several actors and the brother of Molly's boyfriend. Filled with many Shakespeare references and some sonnets, this is an charming homage to the Bard.
