Haunt Me Still by Jennifer Lee Carrell

What strange magic lies behind the spark of genius? When director Kate Stanley takes on Shakespeare’s witch-haunted play of Macbeth inJennifer Lee Carrell’s Haunt Me Still, it doesn’t take long for a legendary curse to stir. A murder arranged to look like pagan sacrifice ambiguously marks Kate as either suspect or future victim, and propels her into the search for a lost version of Macbeth, said to contain ancient rituals of witchcraft. However much Kate would like to dismiss such rituals as superstition, someone else is clearly willing to kill for them, and for Shakespeare’s darkest secret.

“Thrill after thrill…This lively and fact-filled novel would do nicely for a rainy day at the beach.” —The Washington Post
