Simon Kirby-Jones is a gay, Southern vampire who moves to Britain. Once there, the biographer by day and mystery and romance novelist by night, finds murder in his new village. The body of the bossy and very nosy postmistress is found in her home. Twenty-four hours earlier this same postmistress revealed that she posessed a play with all the scandelous gossip of the village thinly veiled.
And so Simon begins to investigate, trying to find out who had killed the nosy woman.
The vampires in this world are of the cuddly variety. A pill taken a few times a day means that drinking humans blood is no longer necessary. Rather, those vampires who insist on continuing to hunt humans are "dealt with" by their bretheren.
A fair mystery with supernatural elements.
