A few years ago I read Bill Bryson's brief biography of Shakespeare, and found it kind of interesting. I love Bryson, but this was not one of his best works.

But if you're into historical mysteries, I HIGHLY Recommend Lee Miller's history of the Lost Colony at Roanoke. I can't remember the exact title (I'll try to find it), but it was fascinating, and it sounds quite a bit like the book you are describing.
