A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn
4.0
I found the book through social media and was immediately taken with the mixture of crime thriller, historical novel and romance.
Above all, Deanna Raybourn succeeds in creating a setting and characters that are rich in detail, drawing the reader into the story. As you know that this is a series, you soon start to wonder what will happen to Veronica and Stoker in the course of the first book.
The only point I deducted was because the pace of the story was a little off at times. In some places the plot dragged on, while in others you could hardly put the book down. This made the reading experience a little tough here and there.
Nevertheless, it is a real pleasure to read and I can hardly wait for the next two parts to arrive so that I can continue following the story of the two protagonists.
