Shakespeare Counselor Lily Bard Mysteries Book 5 Charlaine Harris 9780425201145 Books

While dreaming about the weekend she spent tied up in a shack, tortured and raped, Lily Bard wakes up trying to kill the man she loves, Jack Leeds. Lily has made some changes in her life since Jack came into it. Now she takes the biggest and most important step, she finally seeks therapy.

She joins a local support group for rape survivors and finally, willingly, begins to discuss what happened to her over 4 years ago. When a member of that group is murdered, Lily once again finds herself in the midst of an investigation to try to figure out whodunit.

This book will show a lot of changes happening in Lily's life and those around her since the last book. There are some very real and painful moments in this story, things that quite simply made me hold my breath or ripped at my heart. Intertwined with the mystery are glimpses into the very personal lives of the women in the support group, and Lily in particular. It's a heartbreaking, heartwarming, and suspenseful story that's always engaging and impossible to set aside.

On Ms. Harris's website it's stated that Shakespeare's Counselor is the last book in the Bard series and although she'd like to write another one, IF that did happen it wouldn't be anytime soon. So I started this book knowing it was the last in the series and prepared to be thoroughly upset with Ms. Harris for not having another book ready for me to dive into; but the truth is I am happy with this ending. I love Lily and Jack and all the characters that make up the quirky little Shakespeare town and right now I am very pleased with where they all are in their lives.

I would love to come back to Shakespeare and be a back seat driver to another Lily adventure. But Ms. Harris ended this book in a way that has me completely content with everything, and for that I thank her. There is nothing worse then being left hanging in a series; thankfully, there is no noose here. The closure seems a natural progression for everyone in Shakespeare. If she were to revisit, it would be welcome, but if she doesn't get a chance to it won't be devastating to this reader. Besides, I can always visit Shakespeare by rereading, and that is something I intend to do.

Shakespeare's Counselor is a perfect ending to a perfect series.

Shakespeare Counselor Lily Bard Mysteries Book 5 Charlaine Harris 9780425201145 Books Reviews

I enjoyed the book, but I believe that other books in the series were a little less predictable. The characters are believable, and some of the situations were a little surprising.
Charlaine Harris's intriguing mystery series with crime victim Lily Bard as protagonist, concludes with this 5th entry. The story revolves around the women Lily meets at a support group she attends at the behest of new husband, Jack Leeds.

I thought the story was fairly bizarre, and was a bit disappointed in the series ending with a whimper rather than a bang, but I enjoyed the character of Lily just as much as ever. If you are reading the series, this is a decent conclusion. If you are new to the character, definitely start with the first book, Shakespeare's Landlord, which introduces this fascinating character.
This is a great series! Charlaine Harris really shows how conflicted and complex her characters are in this series. There are many twists & turns before the satisfying ending where all is tied up fairly neatly. You will be surprised and amazed at who some of the characters are & how they end up. One of these characters shows up in Charlaine's latest series along with a character or two from other of her series. Surprise! Oh, so satisfying to her many series.
Lily Bard is back in her fifth mystery in Shakespeare's Counselor. Lily is a woman with a complicated past, to put it mildly, and is determined to overcome her problems on her own. However, when she awakens in the middle of the night and finds that she is trying to strangle her lover, Jack Leeds, she decides that he may have a point when he suggests that she needs some outside assistance. As coincidence has it, Jack discovers a flier outside of the store that announces a rape-counseling group for women right in little-ole Shakespeare. Lily is less than enthusiastic about sharing details of the experience that shattered her life, but promises Jack that she will give it a try. As it turns out, Lily discovers that she is getting more problems instead of help when she goes to her group meeting and finds a woman dead, killed in a bone-chilling fashion and deliberately left on display with a twisted message. It appears that Shakespeare's counselor, Tamsin Lynd, has more than few secrets of her own. But who could be so obsessed with Tamsin that they follow her from town to town, making threatening phone calls, leaving messages and dead animals on her porch and now killing for her?
This 5th book in the Lily Bard mystery series was absolutely riveting. Lily came a long way in book #4, but she really seems to be coming into her own in this book. She and Jack, her boyfriend, are still a hot item, but their relationship is still undefined. Charlaine Harris introduces some more characters who reside in Shakespeare that are absolutely hilarious and are well-worth getting to know. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series to come out! Charlaine Harris has created one of my absolute favorite mystery series in the Shakespeare/Lily Bard tales. Highly recommended for anyone and everyone!
I had a real sense of déjà vu as I read this story. Lily Bard has always been a favorite character of mine. However, I was quite sure as I started the story that I had read it before. I clearly remembered the beginning, but then the ending didn't seem so familiar. So I don't know whether I read a teaser at some point, or of this is just a republishing of a story that was previously packaged in an anthology or something like that. Since this publisher has done this type of underhanded salesmanship before, I remain uncertain. However, that takes nothing away from the story which makes a decent read. But I have to say my enjoyment of the story was undermined by the suspicion that I had been sold the same material twice.
