Summary of this Book...
Back of Book: Welcome to Shakespeare, Arkansas. Lily Bard came to the small town of Shakespeare to escape her dark and violent past. Other than the day-to-day workings of her cleaning and errand-running service, she pays little attention to the town around her. So when she spots a dead body being dumped in the town green, she's inclined to stay well away. But she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and despite her best efforts, she's dragged into the murder case.
Lily doesn't care who did it, but when the police and local community start pointing fingers in her direction, she realizes that proving her innocence will depend on finding the real killer in quiet, secretive Shakespeare.

This not your average cozy mystery. Lily's dark backstory is skillfully revealed. She isn't the normal strong female main character but feels like an actual person whom I genuinely want to root for

The author of this Book...
Charlaine Harris (born November 25, 1951, in Tunica, Mississippi) is a New York Times bestselling author who has been writing for over twenty years. She was raised in the Mississippi River Delta area. Though her early works consisted largely of poems about ghosts and, later, teenage angst, she wrote plays when she attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee. She began to write books a few years later.
I recommend this Book because...
I don't remember where I picked up this book, but it caught me off guard. Lily has a past that we don't often see in this type of book. It was a refreshing change of pace to read this dark who-dunnit.
Further Comments...
This is the first book in the Lily Bard series.
