This series was recommended to me and I’m so glad I checked it out. It’s a clever and amusing cozy mystery that seems to have tongue firmly planted in cheek and yet still manages to be entertains and tell a clever cozy mystery story while spoofing the genre. And the idea of an American vampire in a small English village is an intriguing conceit.
All the usual cozy mystery tropes are to be found here (plus vampires!) and the only thing that held up my full enjoyment was the dismaying lack of a proofreader. The typos, misspellings, punctuation absences, formatting errors which were plentiful made it difficult in parts to easily read the book. I’m astounded they have not been corrected by this point as this is not a new series. It’s not enough to prevent reading the next book but it is truly something the author should remedy.
