This is the second book in the Lily Bard Mystery series. I'm really beginning to like Lily cuz she kicks ass! :P Granted, I may not always agree with her "need to be alone" attitude but I can understand where it comes from. Like the other reviewers, I liked this one a bit more than the first one as there was definitely more action here, and more se

Despite the cliche of the female lead character that wants all the emotional distance possible from her fellow humans until, when crisis happens, she learns to value her friends and that people are more comforting than she gave them credit for... this was good book. The mystery kept me guessing and there was lots of action. Enjoyable but forgettable. I'll get more Lily Bard books from the library.

Meh...I can't make up my mind about this series. It started out so strong...now I don't know how to feel. This might be because the main character seems to be doing the exact same thing. I wish the lessons the author has to teach the reader weren't entirely on the surface, either. In this book, they near didacticism, a pet peeve of mine. At least there was a lesson to be gleaned, however.

I just couldn't get excited about this series as I could the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries. Maybe its because I couldn't get my hands on the first one. The Lily Bard series have just as much detailbut I think I can only get enthused about one heroine per author.

Quick, easy, some depth of character. We learn a little more about Lily Bard and and the hamlet of Shakespeare. Worthy of buying the next in the series, not so much that there were cliffhangers (well, maybe Jack), but for a Northerner, Bard's town is interesting.

Once again, Charlaine Harris provides a book that I must devour in one sitting. She seems to specialize in stories that draw me in to the very end, but don't weigh heavily on my mind after reading.

This was a good mystery with lots of twists - leaving both me and Lily guessing until the end. I liked how she helped others and asked for help when she needed it.

Enjoyed the book. Jack seems like a looker. I enjoy the Lily Bard series and would recommend and read them again.

Suspenseful story-urban, homely-believable. Another good reason to read more mysteries. Now become a detective.
