(  ) Harrod | Oct 15, 2009 |  Another entry in the Lily Bard mystery series. In this one, Lily leaves Shakespeare to go back to her hometown for her sister's wedding. We learn more about her past and her family, and when people start getting murdered, and her PI lover Jack shows up on a missing child assignment, the mystery heats up. I really enjoyed the development of the relationship between Lily and Jack. While it was interesting to learn more about Lily, I missed the peripheral characters back in Shakespeare. Three and a half stars. (  ) allthesedarnbooks | Oct 15, 2009 | The book takes place before Christmas in Lily Bard's home town, Bartley, Arkansas. In addition to trying to survive her sister's wedding and all of its related socializing, Lily tries to find a young girl kidnapped as a baby eight years earlier before the body count rises more. Kept my interest and I guessed whodunit. ( ) raizel | Sep 30, 2009 | While Lily Bard is an entertaining heroine and this story had more depth than the earlier Shakespeare novels, it does seem a cheat to call it "Shakespeare's" whatever, when almost all the action takes place far away from Lily's new home. It was still a cozy read for murder mysteries, however, and I will read the next in order. (  ) Prop2gether | Mar 2, 2009 | Awesome, awesome, awesome that the location changed for this book – with so much murder and mayhem (all centred around Lily!) in such a small town I’m thinking pretty soon she looks good as a chameleon serial killer! Also great to see some more of Lily’s past and the impact of the trauma on her family. Jack being there for a PI job was a “yeah, right, whatever” moment – I’d have preferred it if Lily stumbled across it and then called him in to help, but I’ll get over it!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440234999, Mass Market Paperback)Even in a sleepy Arkansas town, the holidays can be murder.Lily Bard is going home for the holidays. More comfortable in baggy sweats than bridesmaid's frills, Lily isn't thrilled about attending her estranged sister's wedding. She has moved to Shakespeare, Arkansas, to start a new life, cleaning houses for a living, trying to forget the violence that once nearly destroyed her. Now she's heading back to home and hearth--just in time for murder. The town's doctor and nurse have been bludgeoned to death at the office. And Lily's detective boyfriend suddenly shows up at her parents' door. Jack Leeds is investigating an eight-year-old kidnapping and the trail leads straight to Lily's hometown. It just might have something to do with the murders...and her sister's widowed fiancé. With only three days before the wedding, Lily must work fast to clean up the messy case before her sister commits...marriage!
