The Clockwork Scarab
Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes never meant to get into the family business. But when you’re the sister of Bram and the niece of Sherlock, vampire hunting and mystery solving are in your blood. And when two society girls go missing, there’s no one more qualified to investigate.
Now fierce Evaline and logical Mina must resolve their rivalry, navigate the advances of not just one but three mysterious gentlemen, and solve murder with only one clue: a strange Egyptian scarab. The stakes are high. If Stoker and Holmes don’t unravel why the belles of London society are in such danger, they’ll become the next victims.
“The geek meets the goth.
The fun comes from two main characters’ quick-witted sparring, slowly developing friendship, and grudging admiration.“
—The Horn Book Magazine
“The
author’s writing exudes energy, romance, and humor, and she gives her
heroines strong, vibrant personalities as they puzzle out the expansive
mystery unfolding before them.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Popular
tropes (steampunk! vampires! Sherlock Holmes!) will bring readers in,
but it’s the friendship between the two girls that will keep them.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A captivating, amusing crossover tale.”
