An historical mystery involving Dracula. I didn't really see it as a vampire book and that may be why some people didn't like it. Dracula is not sexy or glamourous here- he is a villain. This is not a book for vampire lovers it is a book for book lovers. Who else can appreciate the excitement of finding old and extremely rare books or the incredible caution used to handle a 1,000 year old book? I liked the hunt of finding clues throughout history. I thought the charm of the story was the travel and history descriptions. I loved being able to "see" historical sights in Istanbul and a backwoods Romanian village. How else will I be able to sit in an old village woman's kitchen and watch her make dinner? This is what I liked most about it.
