Miss Blaine''s Prefect and the Vampire Menace

★★★★★

Paperback | English

By (author): Olga Wojtas

Fifty-something librarian Shona is a proud former pupil of the Marcia Blaine School for Girls, but has a deep loathing for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, which she thinks gives her alma mater a bad name. Impeccably educated and an accomplished martial artist, linguist and musician, Shona is personally selected by Marcia Blaine herself to travel back in time for an important mission in fin-de-siecle France. But Shona finds this mission very confusing. Why, for example, have so many people been torn to death by wild animals, what are Maman and the mayor up to, and is the reclusive aristocrat really suffering from toothache? It''s a race against time to solve the mystery. It is also a very tall order - but as Shona is wont to remind herself: Never underestimate a librarian! See more

Her debut novel Miss Blaine''s Prefect and the Golden Samovar has been published in the UK and US to great critical acclaim - being longlisted for the inaugural Comedy Women in Print Prize 2019 shortlisted for a CrimeFest Award and named as one of the best mysteries and thrillers of the year by Kirkus. A journalist for more than 30 years Olga was Scottish editor of the Times Higher Education Supplement before she began adding creative writing to her portfolio. She won a Scottish Book Trust New Writers Award in 2015 and has had numerous short stories and several novellas published. Olga''s second novel Miss Blaine''s Prefect and the Vampire Menace was published in 2020. She lives in Edinburgh where she once attended James Gillespie''s High School - the model for Marcia Blaine School for Girls which appears in Muriel Spark''s The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie the novel that inspired the Miss Blaine''s Prefect series.
