Set in a small Cotswold town, "Inspector Hobbes and the Blood" is a fast paced comedy cozy mystery fantasy about the adventures of Andy, an incompetent reporter, when he is reluctantly working with Inspector Hobbes, a police detective with a reputation.

Andy soon finds himself immersed in a world where not everyone is human, and a late night visit to a churchyard nearly results in grave consequences, and a ghoulish outcome. An accidental fire leads to Andy having to doss in Hobbes’s spare room.

Contending with a wave of murder, suicide, and robbery, as well as Hobbes’s weirdness, is the just the start; he must also get to grips with Mrs. Goodfellow, Hobbes’s housekeeper, who collects teeth. Although they are mostly from humans, she also claims to have some vampire specimens. However, Andy soon finds her wonderful cooking compensates for her eccentricities.

Despite Andy believing he is coping, he is nearly unhinged by horror when a stressed Hobbes’s concealed nature reveals itself in an orgy of bone crunching. Yet, coming through unscathed, Andy develops respect and admiration for his host, even when he uses weird, occasionally brutal, methods to begin unravelling the mystery, which would appear to link The Order of the Dragon and Vlad Tepes, the original Dracula, to the crime wave.

When Hobbes goes missing, Andy, with the dubious assistance of Dregs, Hobbes’s big, bad dog, and armed with a leg of lamb, searches for him. Will he triumph over crazed blood lust and human sacrifice?

Can Andy with Hobbes’s friends, a binge drinking dwarf and a troll who looks uncannily human, save the day?

And can Andy catch vampirism from false teeth?
