Publisher's summary

Is Jane Austen the newest member of the Vampire Book Club?

What more could a diehard fan ask for? Except that Jane is undead and unamused…To bookshop owner and witch Quinn Callahan’s delight, Jane Austen shows up for the late-night Vampire Book Club in Ballydehag, Ireland.

Quinn’s thrilled and aching to ask her favorite author all the questions every rabid reader has about Jane's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. But Jane isn't in Ballydehag on a social call. She’s on a mission to stop the latest movie version of her most famous book from being made. Having Pride and Prejudice turned into a pornographic film is too much for the undead author to bear.

Dermott Lynch ditched Ballydehag seventeen years ago for the bright lights of Hollywood, leaving behind at least one broken heart and some very bad feelings. Now, he’s back, flashy and full of himself, wowing the townsfolk, and scouting locations for his movie, though it's obvious he’s never read a single page of Pride and Prejudice.

While excitement ripples through the locals at the prospect of having a movie shot in a village that doesn’t see much excitement (in daylight, anyway), the vampires living at Devil’s Keep are far from impressed. They prefer to keep Ballydehag quiet and remote. And Dermott Lynch could ruin it all.

Quinn, Jane, Lochlan Balfour, and his fellow vampires are determined to block this unsavory character from besmirching the classic novel. But as dark feelings grow, rather than a porno, the movie could end up being a murder mystery. In Want of a Knife is book 5 in the Vampire Book Club series, which promises quirky characters, humor, and a touch of romance, but no swearing, blood, or gore. Each book can be listened to on its own.

Outstanding paranormal cozy!

Quinn has a premonition of something bad about to happen. Then strangers appear in town that seem to have ill intent or do they? Could locals have something to do with the bad events about to happen? Quinn and the vampires are on alert, but since they don't know what to look for it makes it difficult to stop anything bad from happening. Once again, the book club needs to investigate, but are they investigating theft, murder or both and are they related or separate issues. The characters are so well written and some of the vampires are famous literary writers so for a bookseller like Quinn, it is quite exciting. This series is one of my must listen series and once again the audiobook does not disappoint! The narrator really brings the characters and events to life. The narration enhances an already well written cozy mystery.
