BORROWER OF THE NIGHT
by Elizabeth Peters
Independent, Liberated — she claims, Vicky and two young co-historians all end up at a castle near Rothenburg looking for a famous jeweled shrine. Shades of Conrad Veldt and the Drachenstein family — there's still an old Grafin in residence, and voices coming over the planchette, and a witch burned at the stake, and a general zu and yon in the tunnels below. More picturesque than frightening for this writer's young adult or old adult ongoing readership.
