"London, 1887. Victorian adventuress and butterfly hunter Veronica Speedwell receives an invitation to visit the Curiosity Club, a ladies-only establishment for daring and intrepid women. There she meets the mysterious Lady Sundridge, who begs her to take on an impossible task: saving society art patron Miles Ramsforth from execution. Accused of the brutal murder of his artist mistress Artemisia, Ramsforth will face the hangman's noose in a week's time if Veronica cannot find the real killer"--

"Veronica and Stoker continue to pull me in with their adventures and chemistry and I devoured this book all too quickly. Now I'll have some time to wait on the next installment. :("

"Same as the first book: funny, easy read, love the characters (even tho sometimes I dislike them lol but it’s all part of the character development). The mystery was okay but I wish the book had slightly more suspense or like thrill to it. It’s just a chill mystery but I want higher stakes. Other than that, good book. 3.5 stars"
