Shakespeare’s Counselor (#5)
From Charlaine Harris, the #1 New York Times and USA TODAYbestselling 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…
