Everyone's favorite vampire odd couple is back for another bloody good time in this new supernatural mystery from the authors of Dead & Breakfast.
Arthur Miller (no relation to the playwright) and his beloved, Salvatore Conte, are settling into their (para)normal lives in Trident Falls. Finally, everything seems to be going swimmingly...business is booming at the inn and Arthur is hard at work on his first case as a private detective: finding their friend Brody's missing mom.
But when a pet psychic is felled by a poisoned potion she (somehow) didn't see coming, Arthur's investigation takes an enchanting turn - and not in a good way. It turns out the psychic was a member of the Celestine Coven, a powerful group of witches who sell their charms for a price. Did the pet psychic find herself on the wrong side of the coven? Or did she trigger someone’s pet peeves with her predictions? It will require all of Arthur's wit and Sal's whimsy to solve this murder, find their missing person, and avoid becoming part of the witches' wicked brew.
Trident Falls is having a festival, our favorite vampire couple, Arthur Miller and Salvatore Conte, have a full B&B - life is going well. That is until Salvatore takes their cat to the pet psychic who gives the cat a reading that sets Salvatore off and then the pet psychic ends up dead. Sal is arrested, of course, and now Arthur must solve the murder to save his husband.
I enjoy this couple and this town. Even the secondary characters are interesting. The plot this time was a bit more involved than the last one but totally satisfying. I figured out the murderer a bit before Arthur and I am not sure if I am happy with the cat’s resolution but overall an enjoyable read in a charming paranormal cosy mystery series. I look forward to visiting Salvatore and Arthur in Trident Falls again. Recommended. ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
