#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris’s Shakespeare's Landlord is the first book in the Lily Bard mystery series. Welcome to Shakespeare, Arkansas. Lily Bard came to the small town of Shakespeare to escape her dark and violent past. Other than the day-to-day workings of her cleaning and errand-running service, she pays little attention to the town around her. So when she spots a dead body being dumped in the town green, she's inclined to stay well away. But she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and despite her best efforts, she's dragged into the murder case. Lily doesn't care who did it, but when the police and local community start pointing fingers in her direction, she realizes that proving her innocence will depend on finding the real killer in quiet, secretive Shakespeare.

"Excellent cozy mystery series with a complex female MC."

"This was my first Charlaine Harris non-paranormal mystery. I really enjoy her dry sense-of-humor in the Sookie books and this one was written the same. <br/>Lily Bard is a wounded soul that has a horrible past that she keeps trying to keep secret. She has lived in Shakespeare, working as a maid, for 4 years. Her spare time is taken up working out and learning self-defense. One night as she is out walking she witnesses the disposal of a body in the local park. Since her garbage cart was used in the crime she embarks on a mission to discover the killer and in the meantime finds romance and understanding from the people around her. She also kicked a little a*s! :) I'll certainly read more Lily Bard mysteries."
