  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;There's something rotten in Shakespeare...&lt;/b&gt;

Lily Bard was running from shattering memories when she moved to Shakespeare, Arkansas.  Now cleaning houses pays her bills.  Working out helps her heal.  Still protecting her scars, she hides a hard body and impressive skill at martial arts under baggy sweats.  And nobody knows how strong she is until racial violence has her looking behind closed doors for a killer--doors to which a housecleaner might have the key.

When Lily uses her training in &lt;i&gt;goju&lt;/i&gt; to help a black man jumped by white teens, she does it for justice...only to hear he's been abducted and beaten to death a few weeks later.  Then a bodybuilder is killed at her gym.  Both incidents jar Lily's need for security and refuge.  Looking into closets, sweeping under rugs, she soon uncovers enough dirt to confirm that something sinister is growing in her adopted town.  Getting involved could endanger her life.  But Lily is seeing a new man and dreaming new dreams.  And no one can make this strong woman run again.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I did enjoy this book better than the first one, and have decided that the author likes to keep a little bit of information about the characters a secret to be divulged later in the story.  I guess it adds to the feeling of the mystery novel.  This book starts with a murder being committed at the gy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58796605">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked how the characters changed from the last book to the first.  I also like how this story addressed hate crimes, particularly racial and sexual prejudices, with a satisfying, though not entirely happy ending.  I won't give away more than that.  Although these books are emotionally difficult to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60276953">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I don't know why I keep reading books by Charlaine Harris. They are quick reads and easy to follow. The characters are interesting enough too. It's just that the books aren't great. There's something appealing enough about them that I keep reading this Lily Bard series in spite of that.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another great installment in the Lily Bard series! I enjoy the fact that Lily Bard is such a strong character, but yet realistic, human at the same time. I could relate to Lily's frequent gym workouts in this book, and she had a way of using her fitness, strength, and agility when the going got toug...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42730035">more...</a>]]></body>

I've already moved on to the third one, lol. I'm going to be really bummed when there's no more Lily Bard to read.]]></body>
