A Perilous Undertaking
4 Stars
When the mysterious Lady Sundridge request's Veronica Speedwell assistance in proving the innocence of Miles Ramsforth, an art patron convicted of killing his mistress, Veronica and her partner in sleuthing, Stoker, reluctantly agree. Soon the two find themselves immersed in the art world where people are willing to literally stab each other in the back.
Veronica Speedwell is a breath of fresh air. Her straightforward, no-nonsense approach to life is invigorating, and her dynamic with the brusque and gruff Stoker is simply wonderful. Their snarky bickering is delightful and their attempts at concealing their obvious attraction under the facade of friendship is fooling absolutely no-one.
Once again, the mystery is fairly obvious although they are some intriguings twists along the way and the climax and resolution are intense and exciting.
Looking forward to Veronica and Stoker's next adventure.
