A Grave Robbery

My friend Deanna has a new mystery book out next week, the next in her Veronica Speedwell series! If you haven't read them yet, do. They're excellent--great pacing, excellent human, and perfect tension. And no, I'm not just saying that because she's my friend.

I was a certainly a fan first, quite by chance. I received her first Julia Grey novel as a gift, ended up following her blog, then we emailed for a while, and now she is one of my dearest humans.

And here is a photo of D and me, from back when I had my original hair color, in NYC. (Did I Marilyn that day, twice? Yes.) That was one of my favorite days, ever.

Mystery Review: A Sinister Revenge

Deanna Raybourn — A Sinister Revenge One of the things I love about the Veronica Speedwell Mysteries is how Raybourn seamlessly weaves natural history into her mysteries! In fact, as in A Sinister Revenge, they become critical to the plot! Imparting just enough info, should you like, you can find out more about whatever she’s spliced into the story.  In A Sinister Revenge, we find ourselves…

Do you know if anyone who has done drawings/renderings of Veronica and Stoker? Fan art? I always like to see how people envision characters but haven’t been able to find much of anything

hey! i apologize fopr the very late reply to this!

the one piece that i've seen is here. i believe deanna raybourn repsoted this on her story a few years ago. it seems like she also posted this for inspo when writing which could be insightful, however what is seen doesn't exactly match my personal hcs of what they look like haha

but there isn't really anything else on insta, pinterest, or even here... i do wish there was more 😭😭

Quick Book Review: A Sinister Revenge by Deanna Raybourn

A Sinister Revenge by Deanna Raybourn is the eighth book in the Veronica Speedwell series, one of my favorite book series to date. However, I was a little worried going into reading this book because the previous novel (An Impossible Imposter) was my least favorite of them all. For me, what makes these books so enjoyable is the dynamic between Veronica and Stoker, and An Impossible Imposter sets them at odds. I’m very happy to report that even though A Sinister Revenge has less banter than I would like, it does have Veronica and Stoker moving back towards reconciliation. I also thought the mystery was satisfying enough, with some unexpected twists and turns in the story. The brawl inside the life-sized dinosaur model was certainly a highlight.

A Sinister Revenge released March 7, 2023.

Deanna Raybourn Returns with A Grave Robbery, But is it a Swing and a Miss?

Deanna Raybourn’s A Grave Robbery is the ninth book in the Veronica Speedwell series, but I fear it may be the last I read. While this series has interesting characters and strong personalities directing the plot, it seems to lack the depth and complexities of everyday life that I enjoy seeing in these historical fiction books. The plot in A Grave Robbery feels empty, not due to a lack of…

i've started reading that veronica speedwell series- up to book 5 now. i actually am liking it quite a bit for veronica herself who reminds me of baby phryne and the novels' plots. the love interest/romance in the novel does not click with me- dude reminds of a dark-haired tr*vis k*lce if anything but slightly more articulate, he's described as looking like a pirate which is not my type and the slow burn is really exasperating and not in the good way. if anything i like stoker's older viscount brother, tiberius, who is both a bit skanky but also a lil infatuated with veronica's free spirit and i'm pretty sure that he has chestnut curls like a certain book version aussie di.

but the adventures in most of the novels in this series have a decidedly mfmm-esque bent to them without being too much of a facsimile but i have an idea that the author has definitely watched miss fisher's murder mysteries- the circus episode, the sexually liberated 'tude of veronica, stoker having an ex-wife, curiosity club = adventuress' club, veronica's royal background, the episode with the v*brator but since the novel is set in the 1880s they go with the d*ldo, the egyptian princess mystery which is reminiscent of the cleopatra masquerade, there's even a police inspector character who is like a tres pathetic love interest lmbo

anyways i started reading the series bc of a mfmm gifset that made a Very Good Point about the imbalance in the jack/phryne relationship- shall reblog that anon
