Shakespeare's Champion
Shakespeare's Champion | Charlaine Harris
7 posts | 39 read | 7 to read
When Lily stumbles upon the well-built corpse of a local body builder-his neck broken by a barbell-the town's underlying racial tension begins to boil over. The white victim was somehow connected to two unsolved murders of black residents of Shakespeare-and a dogged policeman is determined to stop the killing. But it is Lily herself who may have to decide whether to stay and fight for justice, or run away one more time.

I think this was a fine whodunnit. I had a knee jerk reaction every time one of the villains used the N-word. The white supremacist bad guys threw the word around in public. I‘ve been around when that sort of thing happened and it is not pleasant. I don‘t know if the author felt it was important to have the villains use because she wanted to make things realistic. She‘s a Southerner and so am I. It is, unfortunately, very realistic. Cautiously rec

Did not enjoy this quite as much as the first but still a really solid murder mystery. This time the story feels a bit bigger as it brings in more of the town, expanding the world of ‘Shakespeare‘. I continue to really like Lily who is unapologetically herself.

Second in the Lily Bard Mystery series - not as entertaining as Aurora Teagarden or Sookie Stackhouse this series feels as though Harris deliberately leaves out details to make things more mysterious. Hopefully they improve as I move through the series. #24-2022

I‘ve been enjoying Charlaine Harris‘s mystery series. The protagonist in this series is Lily Bard, a single woman who lives in a town called Shakespeare! She has an interesting past and, like it or not, winds up being involved in murder mysteries in this quaint town. The recurring characters and story lines are like an old friend.

SeaToSkyes The Aurora Teagarden series is great, too! I love Charlaine Harris; Midnight, Texas is my favorite series. 4y
DarkMina I have only read the Sookie Stackhouse series from her. Maybe I will have to try some of her other work. 4y
Eggs @SeaToSkyes oh I love the Teagarden series too @darkmina I will eventually get to the Stackhouse series 4y

SeaToSkyes @DarkMina if you liked Sookie Stackhouse, then I think you'd like Midnight, Texas! They're very similar. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes murder just finds you! 😂 4y
rwmg The Midnight series should be read last because so many characters from her other series end up in Midnight, Texas 4y
rwmg and IIRR there are spoilers for the other books 4y
Eggs Oh thanks @rwmg ! Can‘t wait to read it 4y
Eggs @SeaToSkyes Thanks for the rec! Sounds so good!! 4y
Eggs @TheAromaofBooks Just glad it hasn‘t found me 😂 4y
DarkMina @SeaToSkyes I”m sure I will then. Thanks! 4y
TheAromaofBooks Right? Although sometimes I'm afraid my life working at an orchard & a greenhouse is just a great setting for a cozy mystery series 😂 I would be a TERRIBLE detective! 4y
Eggs Death by Apples 🍎!! 😂😂 @TheAromaofBooks 4y

This week, I needed to mix up my audio books. I chose the first two of the Lily Bard series. I love what a badass Lily becomes. I had a life changing experience happen a couple years ago. Lifetime movie approved experience. So I can relate to flipping and reversing a bad situation 👏🏼👏🏼

Race relations are heating up in Shakespeare and Lily Bard is caught in the middle.
