TL;DR: A mystery allows our duo to come back together after a few months' separation. Veronica must come to terms with how far she is willing to go to get her working relationship with Stoker back.

I adore the Veronica Speedwell series. Fun mysteries, a hint of romantic involvement, lovely language and interesting historical details. I only wish there were more of them.

These are usually pretty solid mysteries, but after 8 adventures, Veronica Speedwell seems a bit at a loss for what to do next. This one has dinosaurs, a gloomy mansion, a cast of ‘it could be anyone’ and not much else. I appreciate that the author clearly loves her ensemble cast, but this felt a bit like they’d all moved to Devon for 300 pages for no real reason than ‘we need a big house’. Okayish.

Always reliably charming and fun and always read with perfect narration. I enjoyed that there was some reflection and growth with Veronica.
