My
Thoughts:
Veronica and Stoker become embroiled in another dangerous
escapade when a member of the Hippolyta Club’s tribute turns into a murder mystery
involving royalty.
Alice Baker-Green, a member of the Hippolyta Club, fell to
her death in what was thought to be a tragic climbing accident. While preparing
for her tribute, Stoker and Veronica stumble upon evidence that shows her fall
was no accident. Stoker would like to leave things to the authorities of the Alpenwald,
where the “accident” occurred, but Veronica is determined to find justice for Ms.
Baker-Green. Just as Veronica think she’s hit a roadblock, another avenue of
investigation opens up. The royal delegation of Alpenwald reaches out to Veronica
for help in a desperate situation giving Veronica the perfect inside access to
those with firsthand knowledge of Alice before her death.
Veronica Speedwell never fails to make me laugh. Her adventures
and romance with Stoker are endlessly entertaining. These two found exactly the
right person in each other to fall in love with.
Although, Highlight for Spoiler: I am disappointed for Stoker because
his ideas of romance are a little more traditional (as in marriage) than
Veronica’s. Mine are too, so I’m firmly on the side of Stoker here, and even
though he says he’s fine with their arrangement, I hope Veronica changes her mind
in the future. I think it would disappoint him otherwise in the long run. End of spoiler.
Another clever, engaging installment in the Veronica Speedwell
series. If you haven’t started this series yet you’re missing out!
