Shakespeare: Conspiracy of Silence

De: Raf Lindia

Narrado por: Tom Fairfoot

Five women are found dead in the Sicilian city of Messina.

Former police detective, Francesco Marchese, is called in to help the local police department figure out what ties these women together, and to help stop the ruthless killer before he claims his next victim. What Marchese doesn’t know is that he is being being drawn into an international conspiracy, one that takes him all the way to New York City. He finds himself collaborating with British Intelligence to protect the secret that the British Crown and the Vatican have been covering up for centuries. And, he finds himself racing against the ambitious and conniving journalist, Luigi Capra, to protect the secret and to protect his new love.

Full of suspense and twists, Shakespeare: Conspiracy of Silence is a heart-pounding thriller that brings to light one of the most debated mysteries of the last century - the true origins of the famous English playwright, William Shakespeare.

Amazing crime thriller - full of twists - could not stop listening!

This book is a definite must listen for lovers of Shakespeare and anyone interested in the true origins theory (or Crollalanza theory). But it is first and foremost a book for anyone who loves a good twisting, turning thriller with lots of action and great characters. And the narrator brings an amazing and unique voice to each character and sets the ambience of the book so perfectly.

The author starts the book with a scene from Sicily, 1578. And at later points weaves in other short scenes from history, scenes that help us understand critical elements supporting the theory of Shakespeare’s true origins. But the main story starts in Sicily in the present time (2012), following an investigation into a murder of a young woman, which leads to the discovery of other victims and the possibility that the crimes are all connected.

I love that the action gets going right from the beginning, with a series of murders and the hunt for the killer. There is even a point about half way through the book where you think ok, the mystery is solved, what now? And that’s when the story takes a whole new turn and becomes even more suspenseful! You will also find that in the end, you are satisfied with the ending, but you are also left anticipating another book in the series …

I would recommend this book for anyone who loves a fast-paced thriller with unexpected twists, along with the intrigue of a historical mystery.

Absolutely thrilling

Shakespeare: Conspiracy of Silence is a crime thriller that amalgamates the elements of mystery, action and adventure. It opens in Sicily, 1578 with a murder and then quickly brings you in the present time, introducing us to our detective. As the narrative goes back and forth alternating between years, and spanning over different countries, past crimes are linked and more victims are discovered and the plot takes off.

What stood out to me about the book the story structure and the style of storytelling. Author Linda very carefully not only makes the story meet all the genre expectations but also aces it with his lucid amd vivid writing style. The character development of our protagonist is also well done. He is not left passive at the mercy of the plot but rather he actively drives it.

I realy loved the book and am definitely looking forward to more of his works.
