Penguin Putnam Inc Dead & Breakfast

"A vampire couple sinks their teeth into solving a murder in this delightful and charming paranormal mystery. All Arthur wants is a quiet afterlife. All his partner, Salvatore, wants is to slather himself in glitter lotion so people think he's the kind of vampire that sparkles in the sunlight. They've compromised by stocking up on supersized bottles of moisturizer and becoming the proprietors of the Iris Inn, a B&B located in the charming small town of Trident Falls. Well, maybe not so charming. AlthoughArthur recalls the village fondly from his mortal days, it turns out the modern-day Trident Falls isn't too accepting of paranormals. Hoping to make a good impression nonetheless, Arthur and Salvatore are thrilled when the inn receives its first guest. They're slightly less thrilled when the town's mayor is found dead in their garden, with puncture wounds that look suspiciously like bites on his neck. The natural suspects? The town's friendly neighborhood vampires. Determined to prove their innocence, Arthur begins his own amateur investigation with the help of the B&B's sole guest, who turns out to be the new City Manager hired to make Trident Falls a more paranormal-friendly destination. When a new victim is attacked, Arthur is running out of time to crack the case and prove to the town that they're not literally out for blood...unless it's ethically sourced, of course!"-- Provided by publisher.
