Shakespearean scholar and theater director Kate Shelton's life changes in one devastating evening -- London's Globe burns on the eve of her production of Hamlet and her mentor, Rosalind, is found dead. Kate and Rosalind had a falling out and hadn't been on speaking terms, but Rosalind showed up and gave her a mysterious box. Before Rosalind can explain what the box is and what she wants Kate to do, she is dead.

Now, Kate is looking at several deaths that have Shakespearean undertones. There's a chance that a lost Shakespeare manuscript has surfaced and even Kate admits that could be worth killing for.

Following Kate on her quest for the manuscript and to find the person responsible for her mentor's death is an elegant, entrancing journey. Beautifully written and intricately plotted, INTERRED WITH THEIR BONES is a wonderful book for the intelligent reader and a great debut thriller for Jennifer Lee Carrell.
