4.0 out of 5 stars Haunt Me Still is US title, April 5, 2011

Buyer beware -- this book has been released in the US as Haunt Me Still. Readers familiar with the wide variety of superstitions and stories associated with Maccers/The Scottish Play/The Cursed Play/etc. should enjoy the manner in which those superstitions time travel in this mystery. A solid follow up to Interred With Their Bones.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good plot but with little character development, March 22, 2011

By 

Bob (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Shakespeare Curse (Paperback)

This book has a convoluted plot. Although set in the present the style of writing is more 1930s and although the plot is explored at great length (almost 500 pages) it is slow paced.
Without some knowledge of the plot of Macbeth and the associated superstitions surrounding the play this book is not an easy read. My main criticism is that there is little character development and although the plot has great potential without being able to relate to the characters I found it a dull read.

If you are a lover of Shakespeare, then Jennifer Carrell is the author for you. I love her books, and this one did not disappoint. I like the mixture of the probable with the improbable. If you liked Interred with Their Bones, you will like this one. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
