More Description Simon Kirby-Jones Mysteries #3
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cat in the Stacks Mystery Series, a traditional British village cozy mystery series...with a twist!
"A well-crafted mystery combines with whimsical characters to create an imaginative spoof on the classic locked-room mystery." --Publishers Weekly
"A delightful English village whodunit filled with some of the most eccentric characters you'll ever run across in a mystery novel."--The Denver Post
The typically quiet British village of Snupperton Mumsley is bustling over the arrival of Zeke Harwood, the insufferable star of a popular TV decorating show. The Snupperton episode is supposed to feature the redecorating of Lady Prunella Blitherington's drawing room, but Zeke plans to paint the room a garish red--and he and Lady Prunella are caught on tape in the midst of a dreadful argument.
When Zeke is found murdered--and covered in red paint!--Lady Prunella becomes the chief suspect. But Simon Kirby-Jones, part-time amateur sleuth and full-time gay vampire, unearths plenty of other motives among the guests, villagers...and even the butler! Meanwhile, Simon is stumped as to why he suddenly has urges to nibble some necks--A symptom his medication is supposed to suppress!
A charming and refreshing take on the classic locked-room mystery, Decorated to Death is sure to endear fans of the cozy mystery genre.
