Then Princess Gisela of Alpenwald, patroness of the exhibit, vanishes, and Veronica, who bears a strong resemblance to her, is asked to pose as the princess in order to secure a tremulous peace treaty. Veronica readily agrees, and she and Stoker are soon in pursuit of a determined killer. Raybourn's detailed descriptions of the geographical, social, cultural, and political world of the fictitious Alpenwald had me convinced that the hereditary principality truly exists. The mystery surrounding the death of Alice Baker-Greene is intriguing with several twists, and the ultimate explanation is believable and satisfying. As always, it is the relationship between Veronica and Stoker that really resonates as the two come to terms with the changes that their intimacy has wrought. Their obvious love and acceptance of one another, warts and all, is delightful. In sum, another entertaining addition to the series and I look forward to seeing what Raybourn has in stall for her daring duo next. Perhaps an adventure outside of the United Kingdom?

Not a terrible outing in this series but this entry felt a little less charming than usual. The mystery felt a little ho-hum as did the exchanges between Veronica and Stoker. I'll give the series one more book and then I may be done with Miss Speedwell. (
