Not my favourite of the Speedwell series but still wildly fun to read. This book was focused on mostly Veronica and her own internal conflicts while working on a murder case with Stoker. Just as delightful and easy to read as the rest but Veronica seemed a lot less than she normally does in the other books in the series. Regardless the Speedwell Series always a great cozy historical fiction mystery with an incredible cast of female characters. Deanna Raybourn is bringing us all heroines and villans to love and I always go back to this series, I've read it start to finish several times now while I wait for another book in the series. I really enjoy Veronica's character, she inspires me.
