The Time Monk Presents
If you love classic literature, but want something lighter for your summer beach reading, try a mystery that involves literature. Our pick: Interred with Their Bones by Jennifer Lee Carrell.
Jennifer Lee Carrell, an English literature scholar, has taken a Da Vinci Code approach to Shakespeare: what if Shakespeare wrote another, undiscovered play, whose plot contained political secrets that are key parts of British history? The resulting novel, Interred with Their Bones, is a fast-paced but literate thriller featuring a Shakespeare scholar heroine who races across the globe following clues and trying to find the secret manuscript she suspects exists.
Another fun literary thriller is The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. �What is your favorite page turner involving characters from literature?
