The Roaring Boy
Mildly interesting crime fiction, set in a world of 1590s London theatre in which it seems Shakespeare never existed - except in the pale imitations here. Characters are based mostly on Lord Chancellor's Men figures, and much of the plot is lifted wholesale from plays of the period, in particular Measure for Measure and Arden of Faversham, though I recognised other elements.
The author writes under a pseudonym based on an actual playwright of the period. The plots and characters might also be kindly called a "homage". The writing is flabby and padded with extra verbosity, presumably to reach a negotiated length. I won't be seeking out any more.
