I thought she was a great lead - inquisitive and brave, without coming across as reckless or unthinking. I really loved the entire cast: especially the protagonist, Lucy. It has that really cozy, really quaint, quirky feeling to the location that works so well for setting out all these slightly unusual and unique characters. I think there’s a reason Oxford often shows up in these kind of mystery stories. I love both craft-based cozies and paranormal mysteries so I snapped this one straight up. It was pretty much a safe bet from the premise alone. Has the new TV adaption of A Discovery of Witches got you in the mood for Oxford vampires and American witches? How about a slightly cozier take? The only one who seems to know what’s going on is her cat … or is it … her familiar?

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. 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. 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. And a will, leaving the knitting shop to Lucy. 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.Įxcept it turns out that Gran is the undying. Who killed Granny - and is she really dead?Īt 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. GENRES/ SUBJECTS: Cozy Mystery, Paranormal
