Not everyone can claim both Hercule Poirot and Nancy Drew as inspiration. Of course, not everyone is a vampire sleuth from the States who pulled up stakes to live in a small English village. Even the eccentric denizens of Snupperton Mumsley might be surprised by Simon Kirby-Jones’s rather unusual lifestyle. But murder is a more than adequate distraction when a visiting celebrity meets his maker—and Simon must suss out a killer…

Hardly one to become star-struck, Simon nevertheless deigns to attend a tea at Blitherington Hall in honor of celebrity interior designer Zeke Harwood, star of the popular television show, Très Zeke.

So, it’s little shock to Simon when the drama-queen decorator meets his demise; he’s only surprised it hasn’t happened sooner. Now, in a locked-room puzzle worthy of Agatha Christie, Simon must peel away layers of lies to reveal who killed the decorator in the drawing room with a blunt instrument…
