However, I find Veronica Speedwell to be, if not as delicious to my heterosexual inclinations, quite as fascinating she is a woman who knows her own mind and body, and unabashedly chooses to do as she wishes.

If I said I read these books only to spend copious amounts of time with Stoker, I doubt anyone here would question that it is indeed time well spent. He is all things manly and brave and drool-inspiring, wrapped up in romantic notions and poetry.

Without doubt, Revelstoke Templeton-Vane is the most delicious hero I’ve ever read. Secrets are swirling around Veronica and the royal family - and it is up to Veronica and Stoker to find the truth, before it is too late for all of them. Veronica and Stoker reluctantly agree to go undercover at Madame Auroreʼs high-class brothel, where a body soon turns up. Worse yet, London is being terrorized by what would become the most notorious and elusive serial killer in history, Jack the Ripper - and Lady Wellie suspects the prince may be responsible. Lady Wellie would like Veronica and Stoker to retrieve it from the club before scandal can break. Prince Albert Victor is a regular visitor to the most exclusive private club in London, and the proprietress, Madame Aurore, has received an expensive gift that can be traced back to the prince. Veronica Speedwell and her colleague Stoker are asked by Lady Wellingtonia Beauclerk to stop a potential scandal so explosive it threatens to rock the monarchy. A royal scandal’s connection to a brutal serial killer threatens London in this new Veronica Speedwell adventure from New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn.Īutumn 1888.
