It seems like the plots in this series just keep getting progressively worse, but for some reason I can't stop reading them. Once again, the mystery in this book was barely a mystery, and they kept getting sidetracked from actually investigating it so Veronica could play dress-up. Also I totally got catfished by the cover and was expecting a mountain expedition :( And once the culprit was revealed, it was actually laughable how poorly they had planned everything out and how easily they went down. I did like the way Veronica was written as feeling a bit stifled and acting out because of it, but also like....Stoker's concerns are extremely valid! Why does every single book have to end with them getting a gun pointed to their heads! There are in fact other ways you can conclude a mystery! Yet I knew their conversations about taking less risks weren't going to go anywhere meaningful because they have to keep endangering themselves if the series is going to continue. I like listening to these books because they're fast to get through, ridiculous enough to be entertaining, and the audiobook narrator is very good, but I feel like in the last few books I've been getting diminishing returns. At least this one had lesbians in it!

Was hoping they'd actually do some mountain climbing! But at least we got to meet someone's aunt :D
Relationship tracker: Raybourn introduces/continues some very mild conflict in the form of one wanting to marry and the other not. They conclude it amiably, but it's clear Raybourn is leaving it a conflict to visit again in the future.
