Intrepid librarian Shona McMonagle, erstwhile Marcia Blaine Academy prefect, finds herself in an isolated French mountain village, where she must solve a mystery involving the mayor, the cheesemonger, the soprano Mary Garden - and even Count Dracula himself.

This follow-up to "Miss Blaine's Prefect & The Golden Samovar" continues that book's surreal humour for fans of Wodehouse and the Marx Brothers, as librarian Shona McMonagle becomes caught up in a vampire hunt involving Dracula himself. Draws referentially from "The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie".
