A review by radella_hardwick
Betty Church and the Suffolk Vampire by M.R.C. Kasasian
3.5
The master of gory historical mysteries, populated by petty egotists, strikes again.
Our heroine isn't only battling to unmask an indiscriminate killer and against the sexist world of 1930s policing but also the pettiness of her family and colleagues.
Kasasian also includes some commentary on the way Britain treats immigrants, which I'm sure chimed clearly in the Brexit years but everything connected to WWII felt extremely pertinent in the sixth month of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
