This Charming Man by C.K. McDonnell
More fun in the world of the newspaper Stranger Times. It was a fun read but not quite as good as the first book. Still dealing with two arcs. One is confined to this book and deals with a sudden rise in vampires in lovely Manchester. The second arc spans the series of the books and involves the Founders and the Folk. There are few chapters devoted to the big arc but by the end of the book still a lot of questions on where that story is going.
I do like the characters and the story comes across as riffs of characters from other novels particularly the editor and chief who reminds me of Lamb from the Slough House series. But the story is diverting and funny so I will continue to read them. Next book is due in 2023.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
