I enjoyed your review and the free sample of this book and will definitely read it. I enjoy mysteries, and while I am not passionate about Shakespeare, I appreciate his works. Having shifting characters under suspicion sounds like a good way to hold interest, and I like mysteries that surprise you at the end.

The book sounds interesting describing a nice murder mystery and a bit intriguing as the fact that the table was the proof that Shakespeare didn't write his works picked my interest. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I always enjoyed a great mystery book, one that keeps me fully engaged and have the big reveal at the end. I like a surprise ending. This book is suspenseful and page-turning from what I have read so far and from your great review.

The cover illustration already captivated me. I like crime mysteries, and mixing that with a bit of suspense makes everything great. I can't wait to follow Jordan's journey in the book. Wonderful review.

Mystery murders that keep the reader guessing until the end are one of my favorite genres. Thank you for your review.

Sounds like an interesting murder mystery. this is not going to be an easy case for Jordan, as the odds are against her. I like the book's plot, and congratulations on the book of the day.

That's so cool! One of my big complaints with mystery novels is when the author tries so hard to make the ending a surprise, but none of the clues throughout the book add up to the ending. It's a relief to hear that this author doesn't have that problem. The Shakespearean artifact angle sounds cool, too.

Based on the sample that I read and your review "Shakespeare's Table" by Howard Gimple sounds intriguing. I like murder mysteries and Shakespeare, so I think weaving the two together is a great concept. I also think the artifact component is an interesting twist and am curious how it plays out.

I admire Shakespeare's works, so I may give this one a go. Jordan finding a spiked head on the doorstep of her office must have had her terrified and also wondering what more was going on. Thanks for the honest and informative review!

Though I haven't finished reading this, I agree with the rating thus far. I am enjoying the book. I was surprised it started with the skull on the stick. I figured it would be a couple chapters in. It doesn't deter me from reading or enjoying the book. :D

You definitely will enjoy it. I am as far as I read.
