Seen While Reading:

“He had walked past the lych-gate a hundred times on solitary evening strolls to the edge of the village but had never ventured into the churchyard, much less the church itself. The interior was dim and dank and held the cold with thermos-like efficiency.”

from - The Bookman’s Tale by Charlie Lovett.

Books I’ve Read:

My Review....Here is a story of con artists, book collectors, forgery and the elite world of rare books and the people who collect them. The discovery of an extant copy, of what could be THE book to turn the book collecting world on its head, is shadowed by murder, deceit and theft. Provenance for the book proves almost impossible to reveal because of many twists of fate and skulduggery through the years by various people who handled the text. As the threads began to come together in the final stages of the book, threads that could prove beyond doubt that Shakespeare was possibly involved, had me racing non stop to find out! - 5 stars
