Never underestimate a librarian. Readers learned that lesson with the
Prefect's first adventure (Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Golden Samovar:
"marvelous" and "a laugh-out-loud farce" [Publishers Weekly, starred
review]). Now a certain Count from Transylvania is about to learn it as
well, when the intrepid Shona McMonagle (comfortably padded, in her
middle years, and a whiz at obscure martial arts) time-travels to
19th-century France to help a village being menaced by a mysterious
killer. It's true that Dracula's name has for more than a hundred years
been a byword for terror, but nothing can stop an agent trained by the
Marcia Blaine School for Girls.
