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

adventurous funny mysterious medium-paced

3.75

It took me until 25% to actually get into this book. For those of you who have seen Hot Fuzz, it's that type of humor and with that type of level of gore at times as well! The problem for me was that I liked it when I had it in my hands but didn't want to pick it up again when I put it down, until 25% and then I really got into it and just accepted the humor for what it was. At first, I wasn't sure what was going on, but either way, in the end, I really enjoyed this! 

Some nice use of misdirection, some annoying characters that were blessedly meant to be annoying and a whole gang of ridiculous constables that had me chuckling at times. I can't imagine how Inspector Church didn't smack them all about.

If you enjoy a mystery novel that doesn't mind takin' a laugh and not being too serious, I would recommend this. It is the first in the series so no stepping into the middle and being confused for me.

I read this as a free reader copy from Netgalley and was not paid or swayed in any other way on my rating and opinion of this book.
