Barnabas, Quentin and the Mad Magician

There's a sort of circus coming to Collinwood and they plan to set up near the mansion and even do a special performance for charity there. Cabrini is the guy running the show. Meanwhile at Collinwood Carolyn and her friend Beth are both excited about what is going on with Beth being especially excited.

Things go downhill rather quickly, though. Cabrini may very well be mad and have way of controlling people, especially Beth. There is a series of murders taking place around the area and Quentin is suspect. Some girls seem to be attacked by a vampire and Barnabas is a suspect even though he is no longer a vampire, Professor Hoffman's cure seeming to work rather well.

Beth becomes too involved in what is going on, though, and it's up to Barnabas and Carolyn to try to help her before it is too late.

t's another good story in the series. The very close relationship between Barnabas and Carolyn might upset some people but in my opinion it works out okay. Quentin's role is a little weak, almost as if he has been thrown in just to make sure his name is on the title. Still, I like the story.
