Symington "Tuck" Smythe is traveling to London to try to become an actor. Along the way he teams up with William Shakespeare who is traveling to London to try to become a play write. They get work as ostlers and soon become involved with the plight of Elizabeth Darcie who is engaged to a man she does not wish to marry. There isn't much of a mystery in this book. I did like the setup of the team of Smythe and Shakespeare and I will be looking for more books in this series. I picked this up after reading "Will of the World", an excellent book about Shakespeare's life. I wanted to be immersed again in Elizabethan life and this mystery seemed like an excellent way to accomplish that. Unfortunately, this book was not very interesting. The characters were bland and Hawke's attempts to shock the reader with drunk Shakespeare, for example, fall flat. Fiona Buckley and Leonard Tourney write mysteries that cover simliar territory much better. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Hawke says in his afterward that some might think him cheeky (paraphrased) for presuming to write about Shakespeare as a fictional character, but I agree with him that people take Shakespeare too seriously (again, paraphrasing). I don’t buy the analysis of so many… yes, so many who have based their academic careers on such analysis. I liked Hawke’s take on Shakespeare: IMO, Shakespeare is far better seen and heard than read.
Okay, probably not just my opinion. ( )
