Do you like cheeky asides, unconventional women, and saucy tales? If so, A Perilous Undertaking is the book for you. In Victorian London, Veronica Speedwell and Stoker investigate a murder with a sexy underbelly all while navigating their natural science interests. Read if you enjoy: Victorian London settings, strong women, historical mysteries, British monarchy

I really enjoyed the first book in this series. However, in this one, the characters seem to change drastically. Stoker becomes a prude, with more of a sidekick role.  Veronica mentions experiences that she has had (including shipwrecks, cannibalism, and even killing someone) that seem much more intense than alluded to in the first book.  She becomes an unlikable know-it-all who has apparently experienced everything there is to experience and is perfect at it all.
