Mystery.
HTML: From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cat in the Stacks Mystery Series, a traditional British village cozy mystery series...with a twist! "Agatha Award-winning author Dean James has penned a chatty charmer of a first book in this new cozy-with-a-kink series. Posted To Death will appeal especially to those who enjoy their murders mixed with mirth." –I Love A Mystery "A delightful English village whodunit filled with some of the most eccentric characters you'll ever run across in a mystery novel." –The Denver Post Simon Kirby-Jones, amateur sleuth, gay American vampire living in the cozy British village of Snupperton Mumsley, is a respected historian and also, under a well-guarded pseudonym, a bestselling crime writer. When he's invited to an exclusive writer's conference he's astonished—and outraged—to see that "Dorina Darlington" is the featured speaker. Clearly the woman is an imposter, because Simon is the real Dorina Darlington! And when the fake Dorina turns up dead, Simon suspects he's next on the killer's list... There are definite advantages to being undead—little fear of being murdered is high on the list. But Simon is as nosy as he is kind, so he decides to unearth the true killer before any of his fellow writers fall prey! "A worthy and cozy village mystery you can really sink your teeth into." –The Houston Chronicle "A wickedly funny send-up of the classic cozy British mystery. Dame Agatha would be rolling in her grave, unless she's already out of it." –Nancy Pickard .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In this second novel, Simon (our gay vampire) and his handsome trusty assistant Sir Giles, attend a writers' conference at the home of Lady Hermione Kinsale. Simon has a strong motive for attending. Someone, posing as Ms. Darlington, will also be there, and Simon is determined to find out what the imposter is up to. A colorful cast of eccentric authors populate the writers' workshop and the reader is informed that each has reason to detest the fake Dorinda. Needless to say, it is not long before the imposter is dead and the mystery is in full swing.
This delightful English Cozy is full of off-beat, fun characters, and set in the British countryside.
A couple distractions for me in this series so far is his constant pill popping. DOn't need to have it so much a part of the story line. And his relatinship with Giles - or lack there of maybe. Something a little more settled would be nice. (
