In this third installment in Jennifer Colt's popular
series, the McAfee twins are getting into trouble again!
Kerry and Terry McAfee are red headed, twin, private
investigators, who always seem to get themselves into
dangerous situations while solving a case.
When Darby Applewhite aka Ephemera, Queen of the Undead,
hires the twins to guard her hearse and handle the crowds
at The Venice Goth Parade, the girls have no idea what
they are really getting themselves into. When the twins go
to release Darby out of her coffin, they discover her dead
inside of it. Something has gone horribly wrong and now
the twins have a murder to solve!
While investigating the murder of Darby, the McAfee twins
realize someone doesn't want this murder solved. Someone
is out to get them and they have no idea who and why.
Darby was involved with a gothic crowd of people who drank
blood and considered themselves vampires. Did one of her
friends kill her? After meeting with Darby's roommates,
the suspect list starts to grow. Why would someone want to
kill Darby? Are her roommates in danger too?
Who is the murderer? Is it one of the roommates, Darby's
parents, Darby's sister, or one of the vampires from the
club? Without knowing who they can trust, the McAfee girls
will have a lot of trouble trying to solve this case!
During all of this, Kerry tries to keep her love life in
one piece. Detective John Boatwright is looking to get
serious with Kerry but her loyalty to her sister Terry is
getting in the way of her relationship. Will Kerry give up
a good man to keep her sister happy?
With the help of a group of men called The Bruces, two
puppies, some nifty high tech gadgets, and a pink Harley,
the twins embark on a fabulous adventure into the world of
a group of gothic vampires. Will they come out alive and
unbitten, or will their adventure forever change them into
different people?
THE VAMPIRE OF VENICE BEACH is a fun, upbeat, hilarious,
mystery. The characters are eccentric and unique all in
their own way. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I
enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading the other two
books in this series. I highly recommend THE VAMPIRE OF
VENICE BEACH for a fun read.
Crime-fighting sisters Kerry and Terry McAfee are used to
nabbing killers while wearing high heels. But when their pal
Darby Applewhite—a.k.a. Ephemera, Queen of the Undead—hires
them to work crowd control at the annual Venice Goth Parade,
they find themselves sporting black jumpsuits and white
makeup instead. Ephemera plans to promote the opening of the
highly anticipated Dark Arts Galley by popping out of a
coffin just as the guests are brought inside. But when the
coffin lid rises, she pitches forward onto the street--and
Kerry and Terry are shocked to discover that the Queen of
the Undead is in fact dead after all!
Suddenly the parade of harmless misfits is transformed into
a stream of potential suspects, and it’s up to the twins to
find their friend’s killer. Soon they’re plunged into a
nefarious world that includes dentists specializing in
prosthetic fangs and a goth cult led by a thug with a forked
tongue. Will threats scrawled on their Harley in blood and
amorous advances from sexy Detective John Boatwright derail
the twins from getting their ghoul? Not bloody likely.
