Historical thriller adaptation of Shakespeare‘s Macbeth. I listened to an audio version read by Alan Cumming. Loved this reimagining and Cummings reading of the story was perfect.

I must start by saying I haven‘t read Shakespeare‘s Macbeth, but I dug this novel! Co-author A.J. Hartley is a Shakespeare professor and used Shakespeare‘s “short tragedy” as a “jumping point.” Hartley‘s novel is set in the 11th century and in the actual town in Scotland where Macbeth lived and fought (Shakespeare used fictional dates and locations). More historically accurate while still allowing for creative license- great historical fiction!
