I became a Kasasian fan with The Mangle Street Murders and, quite frankly, was a bit wary when I saw that he was coming out with a new series. How could anyone be as good as March Middleton???
Aaaaaah, me of little faith.
Enter Betty Church -- March Middleton's goddaughter. She's a policewoman in 1939 (50 years or so after her godmother's stories), she's missing an arm, and she's transferred to her hometown of Sackwater as an Inspector just before a series of murders take place that may or may not have been committed by a vampire. She's cynical and sarcastic and everything that I loved about her godmother.
This is highly recommended, even if you have yet to read the first series. Betty can definitely stand on her own and I look forward to seeing where she goes from here.
