11 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Veronica must find and stop a devious killer when a group of old friends is targeted for death in this new adventure from the New York Times bestselling and Edgar Awardnominated author Deanna Raybourn. Veronicas natural-historian beau, Stoker, has been away in Bavaria for months and their relationship is at an impasse. But when Veronica shows up before him with his brother, Tiberius, Lord Templeton-Vane, he is lured back home by an intriguing job offer: preparing an iguanodon for a very special dinner party. Tiberius has received a cryptic messagealong with the obituaries of two recently deceased members of his old group of friends, the Seven Sinnersthat he too should get his affairs in order. Realizing he is in grave danger but not knowing why, he plans a reunion party for the remaining Sinners at his family estate to lure the killer out while Veronica and Stoker investigate. As the guests arrive and settle in, the evenings events turn deadly. More clues come to light, leading Veronica, Stoker, and Tiberius to uncover a shared past among the Sinners that has led to the fatal present. But the truth might be far more sinister than what they were prepared for.

This one was a bit weird. Veronica and Stoker were on the outs, so they didn‘t spend a ton of time together solving crimes. They actually weren‘t very friendly to each other most of the book. I‘m hoping the next book they actually work together to solve a crime!

Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. And we got to spend more time with Stoker‘s brothers.

I love this series.

My absolute favorite historical mystery series, and this most recent installment is one of the best. Multiple murders, more than one murderer, the usual red herrings, and the always fascinating relationship between Veronica and Stoker. Nobody writes better dialogue than Raybourn, I‘m convinced. I took the picture at the Orlando Science Center, and it fits perfectly with the book, but you‘ll need to read it to find out why 😄

CatMS I love getting into series, some you can jump in anywhere and others such as the Three Pines by Louise Penny you should start from first book. How does this series stack up, begin from first book or jump in anywhere? 2d
Lynnsoprano @CatMS I think this is a series that would definitely be more enjoyable if you start with the first book. There‘s a lot of background about the characters that you‘d miss otherwise that really adds to the story. 2d

Book 8 in the Veronica Speedwell series, which is my favorite historical mystery series. Love the characters, snappy dialogue, science, and bit of romance.

The only reason I hadn‘t started this yet was the fact that both hubby‘s and my alma maters ran deep in the Big 10 basketball tournament. I‘ve got until the NCAA Tournament really gets rolling on Thursday to get through this. I doubt it will take me that long, since I have trouble putting these books down.

SamAnne NCAA basketball--men ad women--is the only televised sport I get sucked into watch. And I really get sucked in.... 1w

Picked up my preorders from my indie bookstore today. I was surprised to see the Samantha Shannon was autographed! And can‘t wait for the next Veronica Speedwell adventure!

So many books and so little time!

It‘s a Veronica Speedwell mystery so of course it‘s a fun read. I actually liked this one more than the previous book. This one centers around Stoker‘s brother and an incident from his past—there‘s a grand house, old secrets, murder, and, as always, the ever complicated relationship between Veronica and Stoker.

Lynnsoprano She is one of the few authors who I preorder without fail. I forgave her for ending the Lady Julia mysteries when she introduced Veronica 😄 2w

I'm late with my March #BookSpin list, but since I haven't had time to read yet this month, I think it's okay. 😂

My most anticipated book is tagged; I LOVE the Veronica Speedwell series and the last one ended on a cliffhanger! I've already got the audiobook pre-ordered. 🥰

In February, I read 4 books, three of which ticked (4) boxes on my February Book Spin list. I'm looking forward to seeing what March brings to my TBR!
