UK
Bestseller
Interred
With Their Bones was released in the UK in January,
2008 as The
Shakespeare Secret. Hailed by London's
Independent as "the next publishing
phenomenon" and by The Bookseller as "the literary
sensation of the year," it's one of the UK's best-selling
books of 2008.
"A
gripping page-turner, an erudite account of contemporary Bard
scholarship and the plays and poems that made Mr Shakespeare,
whoever he was, the man he is today. Perfect"

Daily Express
"It's
The Da Vinci Code on steroids and would be banned if it
were an athlete...an intelligent, thought-provoking, highly readable
and extremely fast-paced whodunnit."

Italian
Edition
Interred
With Their Bones recently made the front page of the Italian
newspaper La Stampa in an article titled "Dan
Brown Bye Bye: Shakespeare better than Da Vinci."
In
additon to praising the novel for appealing both to general
readers and to " the most serious Shakespeare scholars,"
the article also speculates that some Italian readers have been
confused by the novel's Italian title—"W"—which
made them assume that the book is about George W. Bush!
