I'm a murder mystery/impossible crime fanatic and author. I like locked rooms, footprints in the snow, missing murder weapons, and unreliable suspects.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was searching my local kindle store for news of its release, but couldn’t find the information I wanted. I’m halfway through ‘Goodnight Irene’ – and so I’m looking forward to the unleashing of the Vampire!
Can’t wait. I will be buying this the instant it is available. Your first two books were objectively excellent and yet for some reason not books I would re-read, I think I’d mostly put that down to the gloomy and depressing vibe associated with a detective past his prime, it seemed a very odd choice to start one’s career with.
I loved the introduction/summary (many blogs earlier) of this one, and even if I didn’t know the writer I would buy it on the strength of that alone, if the book even somewhat lives up to what is described there it would be one of my all-time favorites. I’m looking forward to seeing Williams and Manory in better times.
Thank you for your kind words! Re: odd choice — Yes, I think the sunny disposition and infallible brilliance of the classical GAD sleuth don’t always line up with my sensibilities. Luckily, there’s always the past.

…NOT. Lasciva’s 37 million cells are just about only breaking down as I read! 😄
