Product Description
Shakespeare, Arkansas, is home to endless back roads, historic buildings, colorful residents--and the occasional murder. It is also home to Lily Bard, the local karate expert/cleaning woman with a particular knack for finding skeletons in closets.
But when the local woman of ill repute is found murdered, being familiar with her dirty laundry could make Lily the next Shakespearean to die.

 Lily Bard series is a winner! December 29, 2008
Enter any world of Charlaine Harris and you will be drawn in to every single one of her characters each unique and intriguing. I read her Sookie Stackhouse series first and so enjoyed reading her writing that I picked up the Lily Bard series and was surprised how amazed I was at the quality of this series. Her characters aren't picture perfect or perfect in their actions in any way but the way they are written you care about them and want them to be okay in the end. You want Lily to find peace and have her quiet solitude that she thinks makes her happy yet you are so unsurprised by the fact she will get pulled into things she doesn't intend because it might help someone.
Charlaine has written the whole Lily Bard series so well I highly recommend it. Not only do you love Lily for her past and her present and how she handles and overcomes and deals with anything you would want her for a friend knowing she will help you and listen and be there with her all. Highly recommend the Lily Bard books, she will draw you in and pull at your heart and you will only want success and the best and finally happiness for Lily.
 Easy is an adjective used to describe a woman who has the sexual morals of a man. -Nancy Linn-Desmond March 8, 2008

Lily Bard cleans the homes of some local residents in her Shakespeare, Arkansas town. Part of her success as a house cleaner is the fact that she keeps to herself and doesn't interfere with the private goings on she may be privy to cleaning private residences.
When the town trollop and one of Lily's clients, Deedra, is found murdered in her car on a remote road, the town of Shakespeare is once again turned upside down. With so many men that had been in and out of Deedra's bed, the list of suspects is lengthy. And for some reason Lily can't get this murder out of her head, no matter how hard she tries.
I was bothered a little by the insensitivity Lily shows towards the death of this woman. Yes she was 'easy', to put it nicely, but she didn't deserve her death and I thought Lily could have shown a tad more compassion for the woman.
I can honestly say the ending took me by complete and total surprise. I had an idea, a hunch, towards the end, but the way the mystery played out... while my suspect was correct, the reason behind it was a total fricken shock.
I was feeling a little under the weather today so I grabbed this book, curled up on the sofa with my favorite afghan and a couple hours later, here I am. I was so completely absorbed and engrossed in this book that the day just kind of slipped by me. Charlaine Harris in a very short time has cemented herself as a favorite author in my life and an automatic buy. I have yet to be disappointed by one of her books; instead with each book I am newly delighted.

Oops, this is the first Lily Bard mystery I have read and I realized when I was almost half-way through it (it's a quick read!) that I really should have waited until I had them all. Oh, well - I'm sure that will be easy enough to correct, and definitely pleasurable to have a new batch of Charlaine Harris books to enjoy. Wonderful mystery, great characters and I can't wait to learn more about them.

I just found this series (2006) and I love it.The stories are very real.
The only problem I had with the series, is book 2 is out of print.I did mange to get a copy from the libary, but it took two weeks for them to find it! Ebay had a copy for $99.00. Didn't want to read it that bad.

Poor Deedra Dean is Shakespeares latest victim in this 4th Lily Bard. And who better to find the body than Miss Lily herself?
Shakespeares Trollop was an entertaining read, but compared to the previous books in this series,I thought ST was a little predictable and not as gripping, but it did have some rather juicy moments such as a riveting little tidbit involving Bobo. I just love Bobo. I know hes just a college boy ,but wowee what a cutie. Anyways, back to the story...a quick enjoyable read, but nothing that got me wild. I of course plan on finishing the series, but for now, I think Im going to take a break from Shakespeare.
