Summary

Wonderfully entertaining mysteries, murder and all-round mayhem abound in this second volume of stories set in the world of Shakespeare's plays. Following on the success of Shakespearean Whodunnits, editor Mike Ashley has put together another, equally inventive collection completing the canon of the bard's plays and poems, and including 'forgotten' works such as Arden of Fevershaw, and A Yorkshire Tragedy, together with others attributed to him.
All the stories included have been specially written for the book and are by masters of the medieval mystery.
