Shakespeare's Landlord by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
A murder/mystery novel that takes place in a small fairly tight knit community where everyone thinks they know everything about everyone else, but one of them is a murderer.
The MC (Lily Bard) has issues (from a past she keeps secret), which prevent her from sleeping at night and so she has taken to slinking through the shadows of the small town in the dead of night. This is why she stumbles upon the murderer as he/she disposes of the body in the park next to her house.
I won't say that this is a book that can live up to the might of Agatha Christie, but there is an important similarity in that the clues to the identity is sprinkled throughout the story, challenging the reader to beat the MC to the punch.
Not great literature, but an enjoyable read.
