A Perilous Undertaking by Deanna Raybourn

4.0

Veronica Speedwell is a hoot. Lepidopterist by trade, investigator by hobby, she and her colleague Stoker work together in their trades and investigations. Set in Victorian England, they both seem a bit modern for the time, even for the modern in their time, but their independence and uniqueness are refreshing. Asked by an important woman to look into a local artist's murder, Veronica and Stoker are introduced to a bohemian lifestyle and set of characters that don't fit the norms of the day. As they work on the case, more is revealed about their personalities and lives as well. Several laugh out loud moments, and I just love the way they bicker with each other, but take care of each other when it's important too. Just a super fun series.
