Scallops and Sorcerers

Vampire Knitting Club: Cornwall

By: Nancy Warren

Narrated by: Piper Goodeve

Jennifer Cunningham is determined to make a success of The Scallop Shell, the knitting shop she’s managing in Tregrebi, a pretty fishing village in Cornwall. As a way to increase sales, she decides to hold a knitting and crochet retreat at Shadowbrook Manor, the former Bed and Breakfast Inn where she lives. She and her best friend and fellow witch Lucy Swift will co-host the retreat and invite a guest teacher or two.

However, Jennifer shares the property with a group of vampires who live below ground in an old tin mine and they are less than pleased at the idea of daywalkers coming to Shadowbrook Manor and wandering around at all hours. They try to talk her out of the retreat but, with the help of the gorgeous former pirate Gryffin Penrose, she convinces the vampires the week-long retreat will be trouble free.

She could not have been more wrong.

When one of the retreat guests is murdered, Jennifer becomes uncomfortably aware that she’s likely sharing her home with the killer. Can she figure out whodunnit before her first knitting retreat becomes her last?

Join Jennifer and her colorful undead friends in this paranormal cozy mystery. There’s no blood, gore, sex or swearing, just good clean murderous fun.

Scallops and Sorcerers is book 2 in the Vampire Knitting Club: Cornwall series but the book can be listened to as a standalone. Join the Vampire Knitting Club today!

***** Riveting. The perfect blend of mystery, history, romance, and delightful characters.

well read

the series is well written and I enjoy the stories very much. I'm going to listen to other series by the same author.

Worth the wait

I was waiting for this book and it didn’t disappoint. It was nice that Lucy was in the book and it looks like Jennifer will become a amateur detective in her own right. I look forward to getting to know the vampires and what is going on with Jennifer’s ex.

Cute and cozy

I enjoyed this series it has the right amount of detail and foreshadowing without giving away too much to reveal the killer. I am also enjoying the various characters and how some of them bleed over from the Original Vampire Knitting Club series. I can’t wait to listen to more. Such an easy listen while knitting also.

Another fantastic audio book

I liked how this took place after the first box set I had very much enjoyed

Fantastic Crossover with the Vampire Knitting Club

This is the second book in the Cornwall Spinoff of the Vampire Knitting Club and it fits into the VKC after book #15 in the series. This book fits perfectly with book 15 of the Vampire Knitting Club as one of the suspects from Cables and Conjurers pops up in this book and continues one of more storylines from book 15 in the Vampire Knitting Club. I love that the author has brought Lucy's friend Jennifer over from the states to start a second yarn shop and vampire knitting club in Cornwall. I love that we have a new cast of characters to get to know, yet we have the same high-quality storylines with fabulous dialogue, layers of storylines, characters with depth and so much more! I'm excited to get to know these new characters so much better so I absolutely can't wait for more books in this series. I do recommend for maximum enjoyment that you read in order the Vampire Knitting Club and slide the Cornwall spinoff books in based on publication dates as well so you can get maximum entertainment from both series. For those who have read the Vampire Knitting Club, you'll be happy to know that there are several characters that have moved to Cornwall to help with the yarn shop so you'll have a bit of consistency of characters as well. I love a great crossover of series and Cornwall is like an extended crossover! I am loving it! Outstanding narration really brings the book to life too!
