Book Reviews of The Dirty Duck
Book Review: Rethinking the mystery of Shakespeare
Summary: 5 Stars
When I took a college course in Shakespeare, I never dreamed the controversy over the authorship would turn up again in such an interesting mystery, "The Dirty Duck." And I would have never expected such an insufferable character as Harvey Schoenberg could be so entertaining. He dominates the story with his Marlowe obsession. By the time I finished the book I felt like I had finally made the pilgrimage to Stratford without all the expense.
I've just discovered the Richard Jury series and find his and his friend Melrose Plant's disappointed romantic hopes very touching. Both men are very decent and civilized, so one wishes for their happiness. Sadly, the women they are attracted to are elusive.
Summary of The Dirty Duck
Superintendent Richard Jury has been wrong before. But when stating that "nothing ever happens in Stratford," he never imagined just how wrong he could be. Besides the stage murders committed nightly at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, a real one has been performed not far from a popular pub known as The Dirty Duck.Literature & Fiction Books
