Monster bash,
By Marlyn (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Party with a Killer Vampire: A Party-Planning Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Presley Parker's party planning business is doing pretty well. Her latest gig is a wrap party for a vampire movie, which is to be held in a cemetery.The day before the party, as Presley is setting up, she meets some young adults who practice parkour. She warns them that they're trespassing, but they don't seem to care. The next morning, they learn that one of them, known as "Spidey" is dead. At first it's assumed that he had fallen while running, but it's soon determined that he was murdered. The suspect list is long: any of the movie's cast and crew, some paparazzi, and the cemetery's creepy caretaker, Otto. As usual, Presley doesn't think that the police are working quickly enough to find the killer, and puts herself in jeopardy by investigating on her own. Presley is a charming protagonist, if a bit headstrong. Like many amateur sleuths, she walks into dangerous situations quite certain that she'll be able to defend herself. Often she's right, but occasionally she's wrong. This is a light, quick read; occasionally funny but not at all frightening, despite the title. Each chapter begins with a hint for planning the perfect vampire-themed party, and there are more ideas in an appendix. The book concludes with a chapter of the next, as yet untitled Party-Planning Mystery, due in September of 2012.

A Dead Body in a Cemetery is Suddenly Surprising,
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: How to Party with a Killer Vampire: A Party-Planning Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Presley Parker's latest gig is for her Treasure Island neighbor. Filmmaker Lucas Cruz has just wrapped production on a vampire spoof, and he's hired Presley to go all out at a party in a graveyard. The day before, she and her crew are setting up when the old caretaker appears and threatens that someone will die if they don't all leave. He just sounds crazy, until the bodies appear. Now, Presley has to find the connection between the deaths and her party before another victim appears.This is now the fourth book in the series, and I enjoyed it as much as the previous entries. The plot starts strong and ends well. It does seem to bog down a little somewhere in the middle, but Presley and her friends were engaging enough to keep me turning pages. I liked how several relationships evolved in this book, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go in the future. I figured out the killer about a chapter before Parker did. Maybe it was because the book was almost over, but I still feel she was a bit too dumb for that chapter. But she redeemed herself in the end with some great thinking. This is a fun addition to the cozy series. Whether you start here or have been reading the series all along, you'll enjoy this book.

Action Packed Graveyard,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Party with a Killer Vampire: A Party-Planning Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
This series is a fun, action filled cozy murder series. This book revolves around a wrap party for a new film directed by a fellow Treasure Island renter, CeeGee films. Our Event Planner, Presley had her reservations about holding a party in a cemetery, but, upon research she finds this is more common than she knew.Colma, CA is known for having around 1,600 living residents and over one million dead residents. This is a true fact. To me, having lived in the next door town of Daly City, back in the days, made the book all the more realistic. Vampires all over and a new radical sport, Parkour, give Presley shivers as she prepares for her biggest event yet. Graveyard caretakers that spout chilly warnings and just the unkept appearance of the graveyard, itself, makes Presley wonder about this party. Then, there is a scream... This was a fun, scary, action packed, and serious murder romp. I loved it.
