Past Me would probably rate this book 3 stars. It’s an OK mystery for the age group I was in at the time of reading (preteen), and it moves at a very fast clip.

Present Me finds the setup reasonably plausible for Liz to be able to go sleuthing without her parents, and wonders why the Liz books are first person while the Tom Austen books are in third person. The writing is a bit over-explanatory in places, but not excessively so. The vampire story is a bit over-the-top for this reader, but others may find it amusing. ( )
