Shakespeare’s Landlord features Lily Bard, a complicated but resourceful woman, who tries to escape the aftermath of violent trauma by settling in the small town of Shakespeare, Arkansas. She cleans houses, takes karate lessons, and minds her own business, sometimes spending sleepless nights walking through the dark streets of Shakespeare. On one of her midnight walks, she witnesses the disposal of a body, who turns out to be the unpleasant and disliked landlord of the apartment complex where she does many of her cleaning jobs. Despite her best efforts to remain uninvolved, she finds herself at the center of the investigation and suspicion. Charlaine Harris’s books always have a bit of an edge to them. They feature challenged characters who evolve through the series of books, and she does not pull punches too often or shy away from a little darkness.
