Another smasher! I love the way these books are written. Murder mysteries of the modern variety with older protagonists who don't have dramatics at the drop of a hat and a ghost added in for good measure without the whole supernatural genre. A bit of something for everyone and a real.hook to grab your attention and making you eager for the next installment. 
I guessed who might be behind things about a third of the way through and only because there wasn't a lot said about that person.
The characters are well thought out and very realistic and the book reads easily and flows really well.
If only I knew Shakespeare to get those references, I know I'd find those fantastic as well.
4.5 stars for me!
Thanks to Netgalley and the author and publisher for a temporary copy in exchange for an honest review.
