A review by karen_unabridged
Betty Church and the Suffolk Vampire by M.R.C. Kasasian

3.0

I really liked M. R. C. Kasasian's Gower Street series, despite its increasing darkness and gore. I thought I would like this new series better than I actually did. (I mean the setting alone seemed hand-picked for me: England, 1939!)

All the supporting cast, and I mean ALL of them, are annoying in one way or another. And Betty is intrepid, but somehow not truly likeable. The names are over the top. The plot is obscure.

But Kasasian does have a way of turning a phrase...I know I'll give at least one more book in the series a chance before I give up.

Spoiler

So, Betty is totally March Middleton's daughter, right? I mean her "parents" are AWFUL. They don't remember her birthday. They don't visit her in the hospital. They don't care about her at all. But M.M. does. So. This is not really a spoiler, just my guess at how the series might go.
