Really, what can I say about Jennifer Lee Carrell’s novel Interred with Their Bones?
That it is intelligent? That I paid the older kids to watch the younger kids so I could finish it because I HAD to know what happened? That it scared me, made me laugh, and kept me turning page after page? That I’m going to give it to my brother because I know he will love it?
This is a historical fiction mystery story (although more of it is true than you might suspect..the author includes a section in the back that tells you what is real and what isn’t) and I loved it. I’m worried about giving away too much so I’ll give you this brief synopsis:
A long-lost work of Shakespeare, newly found.
A killer who stages the Bard’s extravagant murders as flesh-and-blood realities.
A desperate race to find literary gold, and just to stay alive . . .
If you’ve enjoyed other books in this genre, if you are a Shakespeare fan, or if you are just looking for a quality book to get you through a long flight, definitely pick this one up.
