Miss Blaine's Prefect and the Weird Sisters

A quirky, comic crime novel inspired by The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie in which a time-travelling altruist must solve a mystery involving Macbeth and the Weird Sisters. Never underestimate a librarian. ''Olga Wojtas’s ''Miss Blaine’s Prefect’ novels [are] among the most unashamedly enjoyable and entertaining of recent times. Imagine Doctor Who crossed with Sherlock Holmes if they had been educated at a private school in Edinburgh, and you have some idea as to what to expect, but only some.'' ''Olga Wojtas is hilarious… I was hooked from page one … The humour and silliness in this novel are reminiscent of Terry Pratchett.'' ''A hoot of a book … a match made in biblio heaven … wickedly funny … an excellent cosy comedy.''

''Witty and surrealistically humorous … Extremely light-hearted, funny and easy to read.''

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 selected by Marcia Blaine herself to travel back in time for a crucial mission involving Macbeth, the Weird Sisters and a black cat.

Unsure which version of history she’s in, Shona tries to figure out who she’s here to save. But between playing the Fool and being turned into a mouse, things don’t always go her way. Shona’s expertise in martial arts is put to the test as family tensions rise and fingers are pointed for murder. Can Shona unravel the mystery in time to complete her mission?

Never underestimate a librarian!
