"The Vampire of Kings Street"

Hi denizens and habitues,

  "The Vampire of Kings Street"
  Well "The Vampire of Kings Street" by Asha Greyling
  is not the villain though the police think he did it. Fortunately
  for him believing he is to be killed he engages an attorney
  to write his will.  She is Radhika Dingra, an American of
  Indian ancestry and in the world of this story living  in a
  New York far different than ours but she is an  attorney in a
  world where she is not respected except  as a source of income
  and she does not have much.
  Evelyn Wood is the name of the Vampire and he is
  an idealist turned against his will by an evil English
  Lord from the age of the Vampire Wars in which the
  Vampires were defeated. Wood is a warden to the
  family of Frost who removed to America quite  early and
  are very well off and respected as elite.  The head of the
  family adopted Wood and he   has been with them for
  centuries.  Other vampires   occupy similar positions
  with the elite members   of society.
  The clues all point to Evelyn as the killer of
   a former protege and try as she might Radhika
   can find no mitigation of the clues but finally
   in the denouement the murderer is revealed.
  I enjoyed this very much. It is in hard cover
   for nearly $30.00 which made me glad I have
   a library card.  260 pages including acknowledgments.
