“The book is written in agile, jargon-free prose and will make a helpful addition to the library of any scholar interested in Shakespearean adaptation and appropriation.” (SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 57 (2), 2017)“I think this was an interesting read, covering a wide range of texts and looking at a variety of effects Shakespearean allusions can have in crime fiction. This is a work which I found very stimulating and thought provoking and Hopkins makes this an enjoyable read with her engaging and accessible writing style.” (Kate Jackson, CADS, Issue 73, August, 2016)“This book immediately caught my interest, as I have been aware of the allusions detective fiction writers … . I think Hopkins’ does a good job of examining the effect Shakespearean allusions have on a crime text … . Overall I think this was certainly an interesting read … . on the whole this is a thought provoking book and one which definitely adds to existing research on crime fiction.” (crossexaminingcrime, crossexaminingcrime.wordpress.com, May, 2016)
