The Case of
the Sexy Shakespearean (The Middlemark Mysteries #1) by Tara Lain
Blurb:
Dr. Llewellyn Lewis leads a double life, as both an awkward
but distinguished history professor and the more flamboyant Ramon Rondell,
infamous writer of sensational historical theories. It's Ramon who first sets
eyes on a gorgeous young man dancing in a club, but Llewellyn who meets
teaching assistant Blaise Arthur formally at an event held for wealthy
socialite Anne de Vere, descendant of Edward de Vere, seventeenth Earl of
Oxford-who some believe was the real Shakespeare. Anne wants Llewellyn to prove
that claim, even though many have tried and failed. And she's willing to offer
a hefty donation to the university if he succeeds.
It also means a chance for Llewellyn to get to know Blaise much better.
Not everyone thinks Llewellyn should take the case-or the money. Between feuding siblings, rival patrons, jealous colleagues, and greedy administrators, almost anyone could be trying to thwart his work... and one of them is willing to kill to do it.
When Anne de Vere turns up dead, the police believe Blaise is the murderer. Only the shy, stuttering professor who has won his heart can prove otherwise...

My
review:
m/m
The Case of
the Sexy Shakespearean is a fun, sweet m/m romantic mystery. There are twists
and turns everywhere and our intrepid hero academic Dr. Llewellyn Lewis has to dig through them to get to the
truth. Something he is very good at. What he isn’t good at is peopling but no
worries Blaise will blaze a path for him. This story is terrific and I look
forward to future Middlemark Mysteries.
