Shona McMonagle may look bookish and harmless, but her education at the Marcia Blaine School for Girls has left her with a deadly expertise in everything from martial arts to quantum physics. It has also left her with a bone-deep loathing for The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, the novel that spread scandalous untruths about the finest educational institution in Edinburgh. These skills make Shona the perfect recruit for a new and interesting project: Time-travel to Tzarist Russia, prevent a gross miscarriage of romance, and - in any spare time - see to it that only the right people get murdered.
Clever, amusing, something different! Time travel in Tzarist Russia

A refreshing read, very creative. If you are familiar with Jasper Fforde you will like this, I think. A Librarian and the graduate of a prominent excellent school for girls, is asked by her former headmistress to go on a mission to Tzarist Russia via Time Travel. The characters are interesting and seen with a comic eye. The plot moves quickly and intriguingly. And most of all it's hilarious!
