Resumen del Editor
Veronica Speedwell returns in a brand new adventure from Deanna Raybourn, the New York Times best-selling author of the Lady Julia Grey mysteries.
Victorian adventuress and butterfly hunter Veronica Speedwell receives an invitation to visit the Curiosity Club, a ladies-only establishment for daring and intrepid women. There she meets the mysterious Lady Sundridge, who begs her to take on an impossible task - saving society art patron Miles Ramsforth from execution. Accused of the brutal murder of his artist mistress Artemisia, Ramsforth will face the hangman's noose in a week's time if Veronica cannot find the real killer. But Lady Sundridge is not all that she seems, and unmasking her true identity is only the first of the many secrets Veronica must uncover. Together with her natural historian colleague Stoker, Veronica races against time to find the true murderer - a ruthless villain who not only took Artemisia's life in cold blood but is happy to see Ramsforth hang for the crime. From a Bohemian artists' colony to a royal palace to a subterranean grotto with a decadent history, the investigation proves to be a very perilous undertaking indeed.

All Grace Gauthier ever wanted was the security of a good marriage, family, and home.

Now, unprotected and alone in London, accused of the shocking murder of her employer, she has no one to turn to except the mysterious - and possibly dangerous - Lord Ruthveyn.

Historia
Following the death of her husband, Lady Darby has taken refuge at her sister's estate, finding solace in her passion for painting. But when one of the house guests is murdered, her brother-in-law asks her to aid the insufferable Sebastian Gage - a fellow guest with some experience as an inquiry agent. While Gage is clearly more competent than she first assumed, Kiera isn't about to let her guard down, as accusations and rumors swirl.

Historia
Lady Katherine would rather chase clues than suitors. Her reputation as a matchmaker could give her the cover she needs to follow in her detective father's footsteps. If she catches the Pink Ribbon Killer before he strikes again, she'll win her dowry and her independence in the process. One look through the exclusive Northbrooke estate house party doubles her suspect list. With the help of her trusty maid and her precocious pug, Katherine risks it all to unmask the killer. But is winning her freedom worth putting another debutante in mortal danger?

The Earl of Wrexford possesses a brilliant scientific mind, but boredom and pride lead him to reckless behavior. He does not suffer fools gladly. So when pompous, pious Reverend Josiah Holworthy publicly condemns him for debauchery, Wrexford unsheathes his rapier-sharp wit and strikes back. As their war of words escalates, London's most popular satirical cartoonist, A. J. Quill, skewers them both.

Dying is the only thing people do with any regularity, and Fiona makes her indecorous living cleaning up after the corpses are carted away. Her childhood best friend, Mary, was the last known victim of Jack the Ripper. It's been two years since Fiona scrubbed Mary's blood from the floorboards, and London is no longer buzzing about the Ripper, but Fiona hasn't forgotten. When she's called to a murder in the middle of the night, Fiona finds a victim mutilated in an eerily similar fashion to those of the Ripper, and only a few doors down from Mary's old home.

Great narration. Terrific sequel.
I am really loving this series. The original was perhaps a bit better, but that is usually the way. I truly enjoy how much we don't know about our protagonists.

A new favorite series
First I have to address the negative comments about sex in the book. Realize the timing of the book - Regency period - and the fact that the whole setting for this mystery is within the Bohemian community. What else would you expect? And to be honest unless you are a bit prudish with overly strong sensibilities, nothing was ever really that explicit and no sexual encounter was ever related in any detail. And the first book should have turned you off because Veronica is not a character who would appeal to you. She's forthright and doing her absolute best to survive and be true to herself in a VERY male dominated world. She's modern in an antiquated time. Read Outlander and then tell me if this book was over the top in its description or inclusion of sex!
Angele is my new favorite narrator! I absolutely love her skill at voices. It's so easy to forget you are only listening to one person. And she captures the essences of each character perfectly! I'm always impressed at her Stoker and how much she can convey through her voice. I know if I ever read the books, it will be her voices I hear on the page.
I can't wait to read the next book! These are becoming my newest addiction. I may not be able to wait until my next credit! ;-)

Plenty of class and sass.
This series has everything that I look for in a detective story with a strong female lead. I adore the time period, she has no filter when it comes to thoughts and feelings. Puts every person in their place. The dynamic between Veronica and Stoker is perfect. So many times I find myself giggling out loud over something. I am always looking forward to more. I really enjoy Angele Masters as the narrator as well. She does a wonderful job distinguishing between voices, male and female and not making it sound bizarre. I love this series enough this is my 3rd time listening and I’m so so happy to finally be moving onto the next one.

Excellent Series
Read book two of this series first because Audible had a sale. Fell in love with the characters and then read this book and then had to re-listen to book 2 to get some of the backward references i missed the first time. The mystery in both books is solid and the humor and well developed characters pulls the reader in. This time in history is also excellent for mysteries because there is no internet to answer every question and science has not developed to the point where forensics is everything. I must also congratulate the excellent narrator in an incredible job of bringing the characters to life

Veronica and Stoker are a great team.
Good plot and fabulous characters. the tension between Speedwell and Stoker is perfect. I listened to the audiobook and it was a great listen.
