BBC broadcaster and royal family biographer Gyles Brandreth has published his fourth mystery in the series Alexander McCall Smith calls "intelligent, amusing, entertaining" and the Scotsman proclaims is "one of the most enjoyable crime series around." This time it's Oscar Wilde and the Vampire Murders [[Kindle]. The semi-breathless jacket copy says the story "opens in the spring of 1890 at a glamorous reception hosted by the Duke and Duchess of Albemarle. All London's haut monde is there, including the Prince of Wales, who counts the Albemarles as close friends. Although it is the first time Oscar and Bertie have met, Oscar seems far more interested in Rex LaSalle, a young actor, who disarmingly claims to be a vampire. However, what begins as a diverting evening ends in tragedy. As the guests are leaving, the Duchess is found murdered, two tiny puncture marks in her throat. No one has entered the house; no one has left. Desperate to avoid another scandal, the Prince of Wales asks Oscar to investigate the crime. What he discovers threatens to destroy the very heart of the royal family."
