Posted To Death

A modern day Miss Marple. If Miss Marple were male, gay and a vampire. And a writer. So, in other words, not a thing like Miss M. Except for the setting - good old-fashioned English village where murder occurs. Anyway, the story was quirky and fun with a killer that I didn't figure out until around 2/3 through the book. (At least it wasn't like that one ‘mystery' that I knew who the killer was before the murder had even happened. ... Don't ask.) Simon is likable enough, if a bit of a dunderhead at times. (The nicest thing for me was seeing LGBT+ diversity in a mystery where the diversity wasn't solely the killer and/or victim.) Short, fun and rather silly - exactly what I wanted to read.

(Though this book would benefit from a good proofreader. The most common trouble is dropped punctuation - with missing periods being the best (worst?) example.)
