"Sure to revolutionize the traditional British cozy and win the hearts of fans everywhere."--Publishers Weekly, starred review, for Posted to Death (the first Simon Kirby-Jones Mystery). What happens when you take a classic British cozy and mix in a sophisticated man who also happens to be a vampire? You get Dean James's critically acclaimed and delightful series featuring everybody's favorite sleuth, Simon Kirby-Jones. In this third book in the series, the quiet and quaint town of Bedfordshire Village of Snupperton Mumsley is playing host to television decorating sensation, Hezekia "Zeke" Harwood. The flamboyant, outspoken Harwood has become famous in England for his weekly decorating program, "Tres Zeke," and he's on the verge of signing a lucrative deal with one of the American television networks for an American version. Autocratic, obnoxious, and rude, Harwood brings with him an entourage of family and staff, all of whom fear and resent him. Harwood has come to town at the invitation of Lady Prunella Bliterington to redecorate the drawing room at Blitherington Hall. But after a melodramatic fight between Lady Prunella and Harwood over decorating ideas--which was filmed by Harwood's TV crew unbeknownst to Lady Prunella--Harwood is soon found dead, and it's up to Simon to prove that Lady Prunella didn't do it....
