Shakespeare’s love-life - wife, Friend, Dark Lady - has its moments. Also its costs. There are consequences too for crossing a murderous earl for whom he ghost-writes plays. And spying for Lord Burleigh is perilous – even without his prying into the fate of the first English colonists to America. Young Lord Herbert, Shakespeare’s Friend, may cherish their welfare. Burleigh’s interests are murkier. Yet, in London’s plague-haunted streets, where a hated theatre rival seeks the means of bringing Shakespeare down, his best chance of staying ahead or even alive seems to lie in what he knows of the “Lost Colony.” Now, at an obscure North Carolina college, a failing English professor finds himself the reluctant inheritor of a colleague’s Shakespeare research notes. Then another “academic” turns up to claim something in them that he will do anything to recover. Two murderous plots converge near the Roanoke Colony where the first English infant was born in the Brave New World. Advance praise for Shakespeare and the Lost Colony Review “The ending comes to a clever full circle. With perfect pacing, the story alternates between the two engaging plot-lines, and readers will find themselves turning pages at full tilt. Deliciously multifaceted, the novel is carefully constructed with a cast of unique and well-crafted characters. One doesn’t need to be a buff of the Bard to love this well-told tale.” Kirkus Reviews.

I enjoyed this book very much. I was most interested in the relationship between Ben Jonson and Shakespeare, but since that was not what the story is actually about, I was left wanting more. Maybe that can be a sequel? Anyway, this was a well-told story with violence, spying, strangers in the night, sex, passion, obsession, murder, politics and professional jealousies. I have some questions that were left unanswered, but I always do. The story was engaging and the characters were well-developed and sympathetic. I started reading it early in the morning, and had finished it by bedtime. One sitting. That hardly ever happens. At the end, though, because I had become invested in the characters, I was thinking, "And THEN what happened?" Maybe Mr. Wharton will tell us what happened next in his next book.Product details
