Charlaine Harris

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO’s hit series True Blood and NBC’s Midnight, Texas, the first in a series of mysteries that hits as hard as its heroine … 

Lily Bard has no illusions about her little town being safe, or peaceful, or full of goodness. Shakespeare, Arkansas, was nothing but a name on a map when she moved here. But Lily has kept her head down in Shakespeare for four years: cleaned houses, blocked unwelcome memories, and honed her body into a weapon with goju karate. It’s as long as she’s lasted anywhere since the nightmare that changed her life, and she’s willing to dust around the skeletons in her neighbors’ closets—provided they mind their business about her past, too.

But when a dead body is dumped practically in her front yard, she can’t look away and leave it to innocents to find. And as the investigation creeps closer to Lily, her clients, and the secrets they all keep, she knows her hard-fought peace is in danger. She’s living in close quarters with a murderer. The police are sniffing around her history. And once again, all eyes are on Lily Bard.

She could leave town, and give up on the home she’s begun to make. Or she could stay, and root out the killer herself …

“Lily’s an ingratiating heroine, and the author’s easy style makes this one an engaging breeze.”—Kirkus Reviews

The Lily Bard series

Shakespeare's Landlord

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO’s hit series True Blood and NBC’s Midnight, Texas, the second installment in a mystery series that pulls no punches …

When Lily Bard agrees to open the gym for her sometime-boyfriend, it’s a sign of something she’s rejected for years—connection. Trust. The beginnings of being part of a community. And when she finds the corpse of a murdered bodybuilder waiting for her, it’s a sign she doesn’t know nearly as much about the home she’s chosen as she thought.

Shakespeare, Arkansas has seen three unsolved, seemingly unconnected murders in two months, and the town is tense with suspicion and rage. Lily’s contact on the police force develops an ulterior agenda. An anonymous white supremacist group is papering cars and threatening worse to come. And there’s a new man in town, someone whose face reminds Lily of the darkest time in her past …

Shakespeare needs answers, and Lily can’t rest until she has them. But there’s no telling how deep the rot spreads. And if she can’t trust anyone, she’ll be facing it down alone.

“Full of surprises, this second fast-paced and gripping Lily Bard adventure showcases the amateur sleuth’s strength, determination, and martial arts prowess […] An engaging puzzler that's propelled smoothly along by Lily’s easy no-frills narration.”—Publishers Weekly

Shakespeare's Champion

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO’s hit series True Blood and NBC’s Midnight, Texas, the third in a series that proves death never takes a holiday … 

For Lily Bard, the idea of “going home for Christmas” summons nothing but dread. She wants to stay in her real home in Shakespeare, Arkansas, where her friendships are blooming, nobody dares mess with her, and her new private-eye boyfriend could make it a very cozy holiday indeed.

Back in Bartley, all people see when they look at Lily is a victim. But her sister is getting married, and Lily’s determined to give her family what they want. She’ll be present, be pleasant, and let her sister have the spotlight. Or so she thinks, until she discovers her boyfriend in town on a case, chasing a lead that could blow up the whole celebration.

One of the little girls in Bartley isn’t who she thinks she is. And one of the town’s respectable parents is a cold-blooded kidnapper ready to kill to hide their secrets. For her sister—and her sister’s eight-year-old stepdaughter-to-be—Lily will find the truth. Even if it means she’ll never go home again …

“Fresher, more unusual, than any other mystery I’ve read lately. This novel is the third in the series; the other two had better be waiting for me under the Christmas tree.”—Washington Post Sunday Book World

Shakespeare's Christmas

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO’s hit series True Blood, NBC’s Midnight, Texas, and Hallmark’s Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, the fourth in a series that exposes the secrets hidden under every bed …

Lily Bard has made a place for herself in Shakespeare, Arkansas, as much with her discretion as with her cleaning services. She takes out garbage, tidies closets, washes dirty laundry, and keeps her mouth shut. When Lily finds her notorious client Deedra Dean dead, she decides the police don’t need to know everything she’s seen on the job. Nobody needs Lily to explain Deedra took home one man too many and paid with her life.

But discovering which tomcat turned murderer is no easy task. Soon Lily’s facing hostility from investigators and neighbors alike, unsettled with thoughts of the dead woman and nightmares of her own past.

Her chosen home might become a bad memory faster than she ever imagined. But Lily Bard went it alone for years before she set foot in Shakespeare, and she hasn’t forgotten how. She can’t shake the feeling that the police are missing something important. Even though uncovering what might cost her dearly, too …

“A neat surprise ending will reward Lily’s ardent fans.”—Kirkus Reviews

Shakespeare's Trollop

From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author behind HBO’s hit series True Blood, NBC’s Midnight, Texas, and Hallmark’s Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, the fifth in a series where horror hides in plain sight …

As Shakespeare, Arkansas’s least sociable housecleaner, Lily Bard didn’t open up to anyone. But now she wants more from life, and she’s making big changes to get it. She’s feeling out a new job as a PT. She’s living with a man she loves. When her hard-won coping strategies leave Jack with a bloody nose, tight-lipped Lily even agrees to try group therapy.

But the health center where the survivors of Shakespeare are invited to process their trauma has bigger problems than bad coffee and hard chairs. The new counselor is fielding threatening phone calls and gruesome displays. And in a town this size, anonymity is a joke. When a potential member is murdered just before their meeting, Lily knows she’s in danger, too.

She can’t go backward. She can’t ignore the threat. With her future on the line, Lily will have to discover for herself who’s worth trusting—and who’s a cold-blooded killer …
