Stitches and Witches by Nancy Warren

 In this second in the Vampire Knitting Club series, Lucy is having tea in the shop next to her, that is owned by two spinster sisters that are long time family friends, when a man suddenly dies of poisoning. Lucy is pulled into the investigation when police find a piece of incriminating evidence in her purse. What's more, the two owners of the shop are having a monumental disagreement about one of the sister's old flames that has returned to town. Was the man who died the real target of the poisoning, or did the inept waitress deliver the poisoned tea to the wrong gentleman.  Could Lucy's neighbor been trying to kill her sister's beau?  Lucy recruits the vampire knitting clubs to use their connections and skills to try to find out.

This book was a bit of candy after the heavy dinner of the Kitchen Front.  It isn't very long, and the characters and mysteries are pretty well written.  Lucy is attracted to one of the vampires, and a police constable, but is is a slow burn and not the main theme of the book. Still, it adds a little bit of fun.  I am sure I will be reading more of the series. (2018, 252 p)
