I really enjoyed this one, but I would be lying if I said it didn't piss me off. The person they were supposed to be saving in this book was, in my opinion, the villain, and he doesn't get any type of punishment! The person who they made the "real villain" honestly deserved to get revenge and I sided with them more, but whatever. If that makes me a bad person for thinking so, then so be it. Also, it seems that a few of the men in the series so far seem to think it’s perfectly okay to cheat on their spouses openly with no consequences, which just baffles me! Over all, I did like the mystery in the book, just not the majority of the men, but despite that I am excited to continue the series.

I loved this installment in Veronica Speedwell! When our murder mystery opened, I was worried the turns might be predictable, and I was so glad to be wrong when we started hitting the reveals. I really enjoyed how the mystery's conclusion was portioned out toward the end, keeping the reader in the dark for most of the action, and I appreciated the plot arc and how it ties into the characters broader goals. And of course, the chemistry between Veronica and Stoker is excellent and I can't wait for more time with the two of them.

This was an excellent follow-up to the first book. I think that despite it covering less ground and having a bit less adventure, I actually liked this one more. I loved seeing the bond between Veronica and  Stoker. Despite their bickering and sexual tension, they make a great investigative team and have a lot of deep trust and respect for each other, which is lovely to see.
