I loved this installment in Veronica Speedwell! When our murder mystery opened, I was worried the turns might be predictable, and I was so glad to be wrong when we started hitting the reveals. I really enjoyed how the mystery's conclusion was portioned out toward the end, keeping the reader in the dark for most of the action, and I appreciated the plot arc and how it ties into the characters broader goals. And of course, the chemistry between Veronica and Stoker is excellent and I can't wait for more time with the two of them.
