Shakespeare's Landlord

by Charlaine Harris

Overview

Lily Bard is a loner. Other than the day-to-day workings of her cleaning and errand-running service, she pays little attention to the town around her. But when her landlord is murdered, Lily is singled out as the prime suspect, and proving her innocence will depend on finding the real killer in quiet, secretive Shakespeare.

From the Publisher

Unconventional sleuth Lily Bard discovers a body in Shakespeare, Arkansas, where she’s a young, reclusive cleaning lady with a penchant for martial arts. Two mysteries surround this audacious detective: her dark past and the baffling death of a local landlord. Charlaine Harris imbues these characters with her signature quirkiness and vigor. Julia Gibson warmly performs Lily's youthful, energetic banter, which reflects her strong, capable personality. Gibson cleverly manipulates the pacing, becoming more animated as the action picks up. She deftly segues to the quavering voice of elderly characters, brawny males, and Arkansan natives with distinctive accents. Suspenseful hints at Lily's horrific background place her directly in the spotlight as the key suspect in the local crime, prompting her to strike out on her own to identify the real killer.
