Lace and Lies

Another crime to be solved by Lucy the knitting-shop owner with a little help from the vampires who secretly live downstairs.

This time a TV show is going to be filming in the shop, but of course someone meets an untimely end.

Up until now the attraction of these books has been more on the likable characters and gentle humour - at which they excel, but this time the mystery was a real puzzle which I really enjoyed. The supernatural side (largely almost a comedic afterthought in the series) was, while not in the foreground, at least more intriguing than usual.

I'm really enjoying this series and it keeps getting better.
