Entertaining for those that enjoy 30's PI mysteries, but the characters aren't well developed. At all. But it's an easy read. Doritos for your mind. Nothing of substance, but still occasionally yummy anyway.

This book is a much more enjoyable take on the vampire fiction motif than most. Jack Fleming awakens to find that after his death (which he can't remember) he has become a vampire. He knew it was possible.

Most of the first book deals with Fleming's attempt to find out who had killed him, and why. The book is set in post-repeal, post-Capone 1930s Chicago. The setting is well realized without becoming the center of attention. Fleming and the major secondary characters are fully fleshed out and believable.

I liked this book because it did not approach the vampire as the pinnacle of either lust or power. Fleming's status as newly undead also spares us the almost-always poorly done character of the centuries old bloodsucker. There are also several traditional downsides to the vampiric condition that are rarely seen in modern vampire fiction to which Fleming is subject.

It's 1936. Jack Flemming wakes up and is shocked to find that he's become a vampire. Only days ago, he was a journalist, recently moved from NY to Chicago. Unexpectedly thrown into a different life with a different set of rules, he goes about trying to uncover what happened to him sometime in the recent (and forgotten) past. A private investigator takes an interest & the two team up to the benefit of both.

This is a bundle of the first three stories. I thought they were a fun read & am checking out Vol 2 from the library. :)

Nicely written but not my cup of tea, more detective/crime than supernatural.
