The Vampire Knitting Club

The Vampire Knitting Club First in a Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series

Nancy Warren2018
At a crossroads between a cringe-worthy past (Todd the Toad) and an uncertain future (she's not exactly homeless, but it's close), Lucy Swift travels to Oxford to visit her grandmother. With Gran's undying love to count on and Cardinal Woolsey's, Gran's knitting shop, to keep her busy, Lucy can catch her breath and figure out what she's going to do. Except it turns out that Gran is the undying. Or at least, the undead. But there's a death certificate. And a will, leaving the knitting shop to Lucy. And a lot of people going in and out who never use the door-including Gran, who is just as loving as ever, and prone to knitting sweaters at warp speed, late at night. What exactly is going on? When Lucy discovers that Gran did not die peacefully in her sleep, but was murdered, she has to bring the killer to justice without tipping off the law that there's no body in the grave. Between a hot 500-year-old vampire and a dishy detective inspector, both of whom always seem to be there for her, Lucy finds her life getting more complicated than a triple cable cardigan. The only one who seems to know what's going on is her cat ... or is it ... her familiar? First in a new series of paranormal cozy mysteries!

Knitting, Vampires, and Witches Great combination and an interesting world idea. Would be fun to have knitting patterns because the sweaters described sounded neat.

What a great cozy mystery. From the very beginning, this book grabbed me in and I was hooked until the end. The plot is great. There’s a lot of questions and mysteries at the start and when they begun to come out I was surprised so many times. I like the supernatural twist and the idea that vampires, both male and female, love to knit is so funny and so great and I think that makes the book better and somewhat softer. The characters are also great. I love all the vampires. I would have loved to get to know them better and I feel like all the characters were left somewhat hidden still and I feel like I don’t know any of them well. I would have also liked a little bit more romance because there is the great vampire and the chivalrous inspector who both clearly show romantic interest in Lucy. It would have been great to see some prober sparks between either pairing. All in all, this is a fabulous cozy mystery and I cannot wait to continue the series.
