Stitches and Witches

Overview: A fun little murder-mystery reminiscent of Midsomer Murders. I really enjoyed this story, it is gentle enough that there are few moments of real tension, but there's enough mystery to keep your brain ticking over nicely. A good book to enjoy with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.

After 1st Reading: While this takes place in a world in which magic and vampires secretly exist (and vampires attend knitting clubs) this secret world, surprisingly, has absolutely no bearing on the plot. Supernatural elements were generally used for anecdotes and amusing moments, but the book would have been much the same without them.

I look forward to reading more in the series.

After 2nd Reading: I did enjoy reading the rest of the (so far) published series. This is a very gentle entry in the series and pretty representative of the series. If you are looking for something that tickles the old grey cells, while giving the odd chuckle, a gentle hint of romance, and with the general feel of a really good hot chocolate by the fire - this is the series for you.
