Perfect for you if...

  • You love mysteries with a messy, competent protagonist who cracks jokes at crime scenes instead of taking herself too seriously.
  • You want your detective fiction mixed with genuine humour, weird side characters, and a romance that feels earned rather than forced.
  • You're drawn to series with a strong voice and a heroine whose life is chaotic enough to sustain multiple books without feeling contrived.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer procedural mysteries where the detective follows protocol and doesn't keep secrets from the police.
  • You're looking for cosy mysteries without sharp edges. This book leans into dark humour and has body counts that matter.
  • You need your paranormal elements grounded in real world logic. A vampire role-playing cult exists here unironically.

About this book

Mimi Capurro, a private detective, is hired to protect a bestselling vampire author. When she discovers a murder in her client's home, she finds herself investigating a death she was explicitly told to avoid. Mimi must balance her bodyguard duties during a book tour with the murder investigation, while also contending with Nick Christianson—a figure from her past whose presence complicates her professional focus. The case involves a killer who appears familiar with the author's work, a vampire role-playing cult, and questions about whether her client's crisis was orchestrated for publicity. With the help of her Doberman, Lola, and her nine-millimeter, Mimi works to unravel the mystery. The investigation explores themes of dangerous fandom and obsession, combining humor with darker elements.
