The Case of the Deepdean Vampire

I’ve got a lot of really exciting news to share with you this month – I’ll be revealing the cover and the title for Murder Most Unladylike Book 5 in just a few weeks! But today I’ve got an exciting update about the second Murder Most Unladylike Mini Mystery, which will be coming out in the UK and Ireland on the 8th of September 2016.

Just like the first Mini Mystery, The Case of the Blue Violet, it’s going to be available as an ebook only for the time being, and just like Blue Violet it’s not a full-length murder mystery, just a 5,000 word short story about a smaller mystery. It’s narrated by Daisy again, and takes place after the end of Jolly Foul Play, so it’s the perfect thing to tide you over until Book 5 publishes in October!

Because it’s publishing quite close to Halloween it’s got a lot of supernatural elements – there are ghosts, werewolves and (of course) the Deepdean Vampire herself …

Today I’m able to reveal its gorgeous cover, below. It’s another stunning job by the talented Nina Tara – I love that I’ve got a book with a creepy ghost-story candle on its cover! Its official description is also below. I can’t wait for you all to read it – I’m a huge Dracula fan, and I had an amazing time working vampires into a story about Hazel & Daisy!

Of all the mysteries that Hazel and I have investigated, the Case of the Deepdean Vampire was one of the strangest. It was not a murder, which was a pity – but I did solve it very cleverly, and so I decided it ought to be written down, so that other people could read it and be impressed.

Camilla Badescu is in the fifth form, and has pale skin, dark hair and red lips. She comes from Romania (which is practically Transylvania). She doesn’t eat at meals. And she seemed to have an unhealthy influence over another pupil, Amy Jessop. Now, I do not believe in vampires – I am the Honourable Daisy Wells, after all. But when I heard the rumour that Camilla was seen climbing head-first down a wall, I knew it was time to investigate…

You can pre-order The Case of the Deepdean Vampire from Amazon now – and it’ll be coming to your Kindles on 8th September!
