Guy Hale and Howard Linskey Murder Most Foul

Two crime writers base their crime and historical fiction in Stratford and use Shakespeare to underpin their writing. Guy Hale’s latest series, The Shakespeare Murders, is set in Stratford in the 1970s and follows DC Toby Marlowe and DS Fred Williams as they attempt to solve a series of unsolved murders. Sleep No More is the fourth book in this series. Howard Linskey is a best-selling author of crime and historical fiction. His Shakespeare mysteries series begins with A Serpent in the Garden, and his debut novel The Drop was voted one of the top five thrillers of the year by The Times.
