Grave Secrets cover

Agatha Raisin meets Sookie Stackhouse, with croquet and crumpets.

Toni Windsor is trying to live a quiet life. Instead, she's dealing with zombies, vampires and murders. The problem is that she’s the one raising all the zombies—and she’s dating one of the vampires. Really, what’s a girl meant to do?The necromantic arts can be hell for your love life.

Toni Windsor is trying to live a quiet life in the green and pleasant county of Staffordshire—and failing! She’s a talented necromancer and only a decent estate agent, and that normal, quiet life is proving hard to find. Especially when there’s all the murders to solve. Whoever said raising zombies from the grave wasn’t a useful skill?

Then along comes trouble in the form of the stunning, dashing vampire Oscar who’s waltzed into her life, looking for a new mansion. He’s got looks, heaps of money, and an open slot in his coterie with her name on it. Maybe if she’s lucky she can bag a good commission and a nice boyfriend. But things are never as easy as they seem…
