A mystery, but more importantly a character study against the backdrop of Shakespeare’s plays (a very accurate parallel).

The perfect academic setting for character archetypes to devolve, blurring the lines between stage and reality, and for the drama to go down at the cast party.

I loved this book, but it was not a book I would recommend for anyone as I am not sure it is for everyone. I think it was written in the form of a shakespeare tragedy. I always felt like I was missing something because I am not super familiar with shakespeare's work, but I still admired the writing.
