Overview: Another fun mystery based in Oxford, following Lucy the Knitting Shop owning novice witch who can't knit.
In this book Lucy volunteers to help out at a local production of A Midsummer Night's Dream (or should it be a Midsomer Night's Dream?), but of course there's a murder which Lucy has to help unravel, all while helping her friend Alice with her romantic attachment to the local book seller and helping out with the mystery of the vanishing (kidnapped?) uni student.
The vampire nest in her basement is just an added bother. She's a very busy lady.
On 1st Reading: These are great little comfort reads. OK there is a crime, but you know the good will end happily and the bad unhappily (for them).
.On 2nd Reading: I'm really appreciating how the author's skill clearly improves with each novel. The last book was possibly the darkest in the series - this one has a much lighter and warmer feel. Of course there is a serious crime and a well written mystery to get the little grey cells working, but I just had a big grin through much of the book - especially at the very end...
