rated 7/10: well worth reading
This is a delightful book -- a challenging mystery with some excitement. The excitement is mild but enjoyable. As I read I was thinking... this is all very straightforward... but far more clever than anything that I could write.
With charming characters, some of whom are likeable stereotypes: almost Pride & Prejudice but with humour and some modern sensibilities.
Every character is so politely embarrassed by nudity -- until it becomes essential to the plot.
There are some questions. Does a vampiri have predatory powers such as hypnotism. Why was strength not mentioned before it was needed. Oh, I don't know... I enjoyed the book and so wanted more explanation.
A lot of fun, well worth reading.
