What We're Reading: Cathy

Haunt Me Still by Jennifer Lee Carrell

Do you believe in magic? Is there really a curse on Shakespeare's play Macbeth? Was there an earlier version than the one we know today? One that contained an actual conjuring spell? Kate Stanley is asked to direct a production Macbeth by Lady Nairn who lives at Dunsinnan House and who is a descendant of the model for Lady Macbeth. Murders (or are they pagan sacrifices?) start occurring apparently connected with someone's search for the manuscript of the original Macbeth and its spell of power. Lady Nairn's granddaughter is kidnapped and the clock starts ticking for Kate to find the manuscript before someone else does. Modern day witches (Wiccans) help both Kate and her mysterious foe. This is sort of a "Da Vinci Code" for Shakespeare lovers. There's lots of action and deaths and trying to figure out who's on who's side is tricky. Kate's first Shakespeare adventure was "Interred With Their Bones."
