The original paranormal detective returns in the latest
installment of a beloved mystery series
Lori
Shepherd's life in England couldn't be more tranquil or more
satisfying...except for one thing. Her five-year-old twins
have started school, and Lori fears they'll catch everything
from the flu to fleas. What they do come home with, however,
is worse: a report of a pale, cloaked figure with
bloodstained lips lurking in the woods.
Lori is
skeptical at first but soon grows concerned enough to
consult with her late (but not entirely departed) Aunt
Dimity and her dear friend Kit Smith. The vampire-hunting
trail leads to Leo, a charismatic vagabond who just returned
to England after a self-imposed exile, a bitter old crone
named Lizzie Black, and finally to Aldercot Hall, where a
mysterious murder took place forty years ago.
With Kit and Aunt Dimity's help, Lori uncovers the secret
that will shock everyone--including herself--about the true
identity of the twins-- vampire.
With its placid
English countryside setting, eccentric characters, and
lighthearted charm, Atherton's newest novel will enchant
cozy mystery aficionados and the many loyal readers of the
Aunt Dimity series.
