Death Both Fair and Foul — Julia Buckley

In this second installment of the Shakespeare's Bookshop series, Quinn and Eric, proprietors of The Shakespeare Shop, are back and planning a Halloween party. In the week before the event, however, three unexpected things happen: a local collector claims to have a manuscript written in Shakespeare's own hand; that same collector is murdered; and William Shakespeare's ghost returns to the shop well in advance of his planned Christmas visit. Once again, Shakespeare senses that evil is afoot, and he must help Quinn and Eric to work out the puzzle before someone else is harmed. This is a cozy novella, second in a series. A fun, bookish, cozy, romantic, and suspenseful escape!
