Veronica Speedwell is back in a new adventure where she
has to solve the mystery of a bride that disappeared
after the wedding. Together with her colleague Stoker and
his brother are they guests on a remote island off the
tip of Cornwall. And, all the other guests on the island
where there when the bride disappeared three years
before. Could it be that one of the guests is a killer or
did she disappear of her free will? If so why?
A DANGEROUS COLLABORATION is an interesting mystery that
takes place on a remote island. Just my kind of setting.
There are plenty of original characters and it seems that
one of them could be a cold-blooded killer. There is just
one problem, no body. What happened to the blushing
bride? All I can say that the ending, the revelation of
the mystery is a bit surprising. And, that's all I can
disclose because you know spoilers.
I love reading the books in the Veronica Speedwell
series. This is the fourth and they just keep getting
better and better. If you have read the previous books,
then you know about Veronica Speedwell's special origin.
If you have not, well then I suggest that you start from
the beginning because all the books are worth reading. I
almost forgot, of course, there is a bit of romance in
the book. I mean both Stoker and his brother are on the
island together with Veronica...and that's all I will say
about that...
Veronica Speedwell returns in another adventure filled
with secrets and betrayal from Deanna Raybourn, the New
York Times bestselling author of the Lady Julia Grey
Mysteries.
Victorian adventuress Veronica Speedwell is whisked off to a
remote island off the tip of Cornwall when her natural
historian colleague Stoker's brother calls in a favor. On
the pretext of wanting a companion to accompany him to Lord
Malcolm Romilly's house party, Tiberius persuades Veronica
to pose as his fiancée--much to Stoker's chagrin. But upon
arriving, it becomes clear that the party is not as innocent
as it had seemed. Every invited guest has a connection to
Romilly's wife, Rosamund, who disappeared on her wedding day
three years ago, and a dramatic dinner proves she is very
much on her husband's mind.
As spectral figures, ghostly music, and mysterious threats
begin to plague the partygoers, Veronica enlists Stoker's
help to discover the host's true motivations. And as they
investigate, it becomes clear that there are numerous
mysteries surrounding the Romilly estate, and every person
present has a motive to kill Rosamund...
