Hunting Prince Dracula


Hunting Prince Dracula



Maniscalco, Kerri.  Hunting Prince Dracula.  2017.  Jimmy Patterson Books, Little Brown and Company, New York, NY.

Audrey Rose Wadsworth is back!  Fresh off of the challenge of the Jack the Ripper murders, Wadsworth and Creswell are headed off to study forensics at a castle in Romania.  Expecting to be admitted to the program, little do they realize that they are competing with other students for 2 spaces in the program.

As Wadsworth and Creswell settle in, they discover that their school is located in Count Dracula's castle.  While Vlad Dracula's died well over 100 years before, something is afoot in the castle.  Students and villagers are disappearing.  When their bodies are found days later, it is discovered that they have been drained of all their blood.  The villagers whisper that the vampires have returned.

Is it possible?  Could a strigoi be roaming the halls of the castle?  Could one be hunting the villagers?

As the members of the royal family - and heirs of Count Vlad Dracula become the latest victims of the mysterious killer - suspicions and rumors abound.

Can Audrey Rose and Thomas solve the mystery of the vampire killer before they, themselves become the final victims?
