Text of the page (random words):
east the next closest thing vampires are rarely ever this smart and never this funny lavie tidhar has injected new life into the genre and i thank him for it christopher farnsworth author of the president s vampire lavie tidhar is killing it i d say this book is what you d get if arthur conan doyle got drunk on absinthe and made out with edward gorey but it s tidhar all the way down at his funniest and wittiest the book s packed with vampires of all stripes the backstabbers the front stabbers the shocked stab ees who are always up for a snack and the body count is hilariously high tidhar had better keep the judge dee jonathan stories coming or i will hurt somebody daryl gregory author of revelator reviews clever and amusing the three coffin prob lem is a fun twist ing detect ive novel foreword the three coffin problem is just one of the many puzzles that judge dee has to solve in this compilation of the vampire s official judgments as this vampiric precursor to sherlock holmes drags his version of watson his ever hungry constantly exhausted and entirely human assistant jonathan across medieval europe from one murder case and vampire castle to another that his fellow vampires prefer to overdramatize everything including their murders of one another makes dee s investigations as convoluted as his judgments are final verdict recommended for readers who enjoy short story collections witty vampire stories told from a human perspective and anyone who has dipped into tidhar s online judge dee series and is looking for the whole saga in a convenient readable package library journal an excellent collection of short mysteries blending classic crime and horror elements compelling characters nicely intricate plots and very well written definitely recommended civilian

be published as the three coffin problem in june 2026 in a rather gorgeous paperback or in a handy e book your choice the cover is by the fantastic cinthya álvarez who also illustrated my the children s book of the future medieval europe a world of darkness of gothic castles isolated monasteries of monks and knights and things that go bump in the night a world where vampires can roam at will at least as long as they obey the rules for a vampire may not murder another vampire not unless they have a really good reason to anyway enter judge dee ancient immortal ascetic his cold intellect draws him wherever a mystery is present and he will rest at nothing to solve the puzzle jonathan the judge s human assistant on the other hand mostly just wants cheese with bread if possible and some pickles would be nice after all it s not easy spending your life in the company of murderous vampires who only see you as a tasty snack their adventures take them from the warm italian valleys to the heights of the french alps as they come face to fang with fiendishly complicated puzzles not the least of which is love but as they are drawn inexorably onwards to london jonathan wonders what awaits them when they finally arrive and what choices he may have to make once they get there praise for the three coffin problem sink your teeth into this the three coffin problem is a whimsical delight about everyone s favorite vampire detective silvia moreno garcia author of mexican gothic does fresh funny mystifying clever and subliminally scary things with the mediaeval mystery genre simply by adding vampires to the mix hugely recommended kim newman author of anno dracula judge dee is my favorite vampire and it s a joy to watch him work in these stories where he reminds us even a monster must have standards or else along with his reluctant but faithful human servant jonathan judge dee unravels the unique crimes of the undead and delivers justice or at least the next closest thing vampires are rarely ever this smart and never this funny lavie tidhar has injected new life into the genre and i thank him for it christopher farnsworth author of the president s vampire lavie tidhar
