Shakespearean Mysteries

Happy Birthday, Will! There are so many Shakespearean themed mysteries that I thought today would be an apt day to make a list! This is not a complete list in any way. The first group of mysteries focuses on the Bard Himself. Then I've listed short story collections, and the third group contains mysteries in which Shakespearean plays are being performed or plays come to light or otherwise Shakespeare related. The Mystery Readers Journal has had an issue focusing on Theatrical mysteries and there were several other mysteries mentioned there. It's out of print and not on computer, so I'll need to find a copy to ferret out other titles. In 2010 we will have another issue that focuses on Theatre.
