A murder mystery entwined with a lost artifact from Shakespeare's time, that's a thrilling concept! Jordan's desperate fight to save her department while proving her innocence adds a compelling urgency to the story.

The characters in the book are complex and well developed, which adds depth to the narrative. Furthermore, the academic setting provides an additional layer of intrigue, exploring the rivalries, jealousies and betrayals that characterize university life.

I can already see myself enjoying this book. A murder mystery with clues given here and there is just the way I like it, so I see if my guess was right. Yet I love to be surprised at the end. I do hope they get to keep the department.

Shakespeare's Table by Howard Gimple is a gripping murder mystery that expertly blends literary intrigue with suspense. Jordan's struggle to save her department while unraveling a murder tied to a Shakespearean artifact keeps the tension high. The plot is well-crafted, with clues skillfully woven throughout, leading to a satisfying conclusion that still holds surprises. While some character moments feel rushed, the overall pace and engaging narrative make for an enjoyable read. Perfect for fans of both mysteries and Shakespeare!

Hi @Hydah Katrina Kerry, I just read your comments on the official review of "Shakespeare's Table" and I agree it is a thrilling crime story but without much in the way of details your comments do not indicate you read the entire sample. For example: "Shakespeare's Table" by Howard Gimple is a story about a lady named Jordan whose department is going to be cut due to budget issues. She finds hope when she learns that a table that was owned by Shakespeare was to be donated to the Special Collections library. Then tragedy struck and the head of professor Berg, who was going to make this donation was decapitated and left on a spike outside Jordan’s office door. As a result, Jordan not only needs to find the table and prove her innocence in the murder investigation. This is an exciting suspense filled mystery with many characters who may be guilty in this murder and readers will enjoy the flow of the story and guess who the killer is and why the professor was decapitated. There are many clues to follow but the ending will surprise most readers. I am also very interested in the claim that Shakespeare did not write the plays that he has gained renowned fame throughout the world. Professor Berg was going to prove to the world that Shakespeare’s table would show that William did not write his famous plays. The story goes back to the time of Shakespeare when Christopher Marlowe the best-known playwright and propagandist for the English crown is killed by a knife in the eye during a scuffle with an unknown assailant who had been restrained and had a smelly blanket over his head. People then wondered if Shakespeare was the killer and he took Marlowe’s role in the crown. I cannot wait to read the entire book to learn who killed professor Berg and more information about the man that killed Marlowe. @Mrlefty0706
