Da ich Shakespeare liebe und alles verschlinge, was auch nur entfernt mit ihm zu tun hat, war der Kauf dieses Buches ein Muß für mich. Zum Glück habe ich es nicht bereut! Gerade die Mischung aus Fakten über Shakespeare, Zitaten aus seinen Stücken und handfestem Krimi ist äußerst reizvoll und macht dieses Buch zu einem sehr ungewöhnlichen Leseerlebnis. Jedem, der sich für Shakespeare interessiert, kann ich dieses Buch nur wärmstens empfehlen und alle anderen könnten dadurch vielleicht auf den Geschmack kommen und vielleicht auch mal ein Stück von dem berühmten Barden aus Stratford-upon-Avon in die Hand nehmen!

Who would kill for a play? Most of us wouldn't, for sure. But what if it is a play written by Shakespeare and believed to be long lost and gone? Aye, there's the rub!
Jennifer Lee Carrell, author of the 2007 novel "Interred with Their Bones" and as much at home in matters Shakespearean as a trout in a clear river, throws her heroine, Kate Stanley, in at the deep end, when this former scholar, who has turned into a director, one day receives a visit from her former mentor, Rosalind Howard, a renowned university professor. Rosalind claims to have found the key to a discovery that will shake the beliefs of Shakespeare scholars to the core. When Rosalind is found murdered in the manner of Hamlet's father, Kate suddenly finds herself suspected by a tough police inspector and soon becomes the target of the mysterious murderer, who is so intent on covering up the secret Rosalind was about to unravel that he does not shrink from arson, the theft of First Folios and further killings. It is no wonder that Kate accepts all the help she can get from the famous actor Sir Henry and Rosalind's nephew Ben, although the latter does not seem to be quite frank with her. And so, against all odds, she sets out to discover Rosalind's secret treasure.
"Interred with Their Bones" is a novel of suspense and mystery, written in the vein of Dan Brown's fiction, with Lee Carrell's prose being more elaborate and her knowledge of the subject of Shakespeare and his time being incomparably deeper than anything we can read in Brown's books. The great length at which she expounds the different theories as to who really wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare, if not the glovemaker's son himself, as well as the political and court intrigues of the Jacobean age, and her tendency to insert allusions to Shakespeare's plays may be too much of a treat to many readers, but people with a vivid interest in Shakespeare and his time may actually enjoy this feature of the book. In Westminster Abbey, the author even lets loose one of the Bard's clowns, a would-be poet with a tendency to malapropisms.
Carrell's idea of having her heroine hunt for a lost play that was suppressed shortly after its opening night because of its hidden political message seems quite ingenious to me, whereas her decision to have the killer stage the deaths of Shakespeare characters reminds me of an old Vincent Price film and appears to pay tribute to mere sensationalism, as the manner of these deaths is not motivated by necessity in any way at all. Carrell's imagination also ran riot a bit in her attempts at concealing the identity of the murderer and at setting the reader on wrong tracks. Maybe the author was also fancying the Hollywood screen when it came to providing her overkill ending.
All in all "Interred with Their Bones" is quite a good debut novel even if it has some flaws.

Das Buch "The Shakespeare Secret" ist ein gutes Buch und eine nette Lektüre, allerdings sind die Passagen mit den Shakespeare Zitaten etwas nervend. Viele Zitate muss man sich mehrere male durchlesen, um den Sinn hinter ihnen zu verstehen. Wer noch nie ein Stück von Shakespeare gelesen hat wird wohl keine Freude an diesem Buch haben. Es gibt viele Anspielungen die für die Story von Bedeutung sind, die ohne ein gewisses Grundwissen nicht einleuchtend sind.
Für alle die an Shakespeare ihre Freude haben und sich einigermaßen im Leben und in den Werken Skaespeares auskennen, ist dieses Buch empfehlenswert,
