The Vampire Knitting Club - Book Review

The Vampire Knitting Club (Vampire Knitting Club #1)
by Nancy Warren

What is it about:
Vampires who knit
A troublemaking witch
Who killed Granny — and is she really dead?

At a crossroads between a cringe-worthy past (Todd the Toad) and an uncertain future (she's not exactly homeless, but it's close), Lucy Swift travels to Oxford to visit her grandmother. With Gran's undying love to count on and Cardinal Woolsey's, Gran's knitting shop, to keep her busy, Lucy can catch her breath and figure out what she's going to do.

Except it turns out that Gran is the undying. Or at least, the undead. But there's a death certificate. And a will, leaving the knitting shop to Lucy. And a lot of people going in and out who never use the door—including Gran, who is just as loving as ever, and prone to knitting sweaters at warp speed, late at night. What exactly is going on?

When Lucy discovers that Gran did not die peacefully in her sleep, but was murdered, she has to bring the killer to justice without tipping off the law that there's no body in the grave. Between a hot 600-year-old vampire and a dishy detective inspector, both of whom always seem to be there for her, Lucy finds her life getting more complicated than a triple cable cardigan.
The only one who seems to know what's going on is her cat ... or is it ... her familiar?

What did I think of it:
I couldn't resist the title of this book. I mean: knitting vampires!

And this is a really enjoyable cozy paranormal mystery.

Lucy inherits her grandmother's knitting shop, but soon discovers her grandmother might be dead, but she's still knitting. As Lucy discovers one paranormal secret after the other she also gets involved in the mystery of her grandmother's untimely demise.

I had lots fun with this book and got my wish: knitting vampires! I'm not sure why so many vampires thought knitting was so much fun, but who doesn't enjoy the image of a coven of knitting vampires, so I didn't care about the why.

The mysteries and secrets weren't too complicated, but enjoyable. I really liked several of the characters, especially Lucy's grandmother and some of the other vampires. All in all this book is a really nice and fun introduction to a promising series. I'll most definitely pick up the next book somewhere in the future.

Why should you read it:
It's a fun Cozy Paranormal Mystery
