Book Review of To Play the Fool (Kate Martinelli, Bk 2)

To Play the Fool (Kate Martinelli, Bk 2)
reviewed on


The novel is based on the mystery surrounding the murder of a homeless man, but the story is of Brother Erasmus, a Fool, who only speaks in quotes from Shakespeare and the Bible. The real mystery is who Brother Erasmus really is, what he is hiding, and why he speaks only in quotes. Eventually the detective Kate Martinelli founds out who the murderer was, but she is more interested in the life of the characters she meets. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes your mysteries to be a bit more literary.
