  Luisa Villareal has worked her entire life to find a place in academia. Her love of Shakespeare has driven her, since middle school, to higher and higher levels of scholarship. Now, in April 2014, she finally has her chance to make it at an Ivy League institution. After convincing a renowned association and her university, Assistant Professor Villareal prepares to host the association's annual Shakespeare symposium. Moreover, 2014 marks the four-hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Shakespeare's birth and death, giving the event added mystique. 
  However, on the morning of the symposium's opening day, the body of a young woman is discovered drowned in the university's arboretum. But, more than that, the murderer has left a garland of flowers around her neck. A chance encounter with an employee familiar with the situation leads Villareal to conclude that this is no random act of violence, realizing that the flowers around the young woman's neck are a clear symbol from one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. 
  Before long, Villareal joins forces with local detectives Ryan Kelly and Sarah Choo, as well as campus officer Antonio Guerrera, to find the killer. But, it does not end there. Soon more murders follow and the four find themselves on the trail of a serial killer intent on recreating some of Shakespeare's most famous deaths. The question is, why? 
  "If It Were Done" is a fast-paced thriller and literary adventure for any fan of mysteries, Shakespeare, or both. It is the first of three novels in the series.

  Taking a break from their usual business of helping adoptees find their birth parents, New York private investigators—and super-sized, ever-so-slightly-paranormal siblings—Fran and Ken Stein accept a job to find a missing young woman. Nineteen-year-old college student Eliza Hennessey is trans—and she has a rocky relationship with her father, their new client. Brian's convinced his daughter's vanished, rather than run away, but Fran and Ken aren't so sure she wants to be found. The PI duo investigate, and soon Fran is butting heads with her irritating sort-of-ex-boyfriend Mank at the NYPD, who has what seems to be a similar case on his desk. But not even Fran could guess how tangled their investigations are going to get—or how deep they'll need to dive into murder and mayhem to solve the case! The new instalment of the Fran and Ken Stein mystery series, following Ukulele of Death, has it all: unique characters, witty humor, and a twisty mystery plot to die for!
