    Book Information
    The New York Times bestselling author of the Lady Julia Grey mysteries returns once more to Victorian England and introduces intrepid adventuress Veronica Speedwell....

    London, 1887. After burying her spinster aunt, orphaned Veronica Speedwell is free to resume her world travels in pursuit of scientific inquiry—and the occasional romantic dalliance. As familiar with hunting butterflies as with fending off admirers,
    Veronica intends to embark upon the journey of a lifetime.

    But fate has other plans when Veronica thwarts her own attempted abduction with the help of an enigmatic German baron, who offers her sanctuary in the care of his friend Stoker, a reclusive and bad-tempered natural historian. But before the baron can
    reveal what he knows of the plot against her, he is found murdered—leaving Veronica and Stoker on the run from an elusive assailant as wary partners in search of the villainous truth.

    Title: Veronica is the heroine Victorian Lit needs
    Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018
    Review: I wound up getting into this series a little backwards. After winning an ARC off NetGalley, I was excited to begin my foray into mystery, led by a lady detective.

    Until I realized that the ARC was actually book 3, and you can’t just jump in anywhere and be all caught up. This is a character-led mystery series more than a circumstance-led one. I read the first lines of book 3, featuring Veronica Speedwell and her
    companion Stoker, when I realized that these two characters have a world of history behind them, and I wanted to know every little detail.

    So here I am, frantically attempting to get through all three books and post reviews before A Treacherous Curse comes out on January 16th. Whoops! Wish me luck.

    Fortunately, reading A Curious Beginning was not at all a chore, proving instead to be a quick, fun read. I instantly fell in love with Veronica, a young woman who explores the world as a lepidopterist, or a butterfly collector. Shrewd and intrepid,
    Veronica recognizes that this profession is one of the few that allows women to “act out” and roam the countryside unaccompanied, and she does so with particular zeal.

    I loved that she spoke her mind and admired other women who do the same or hold ambitions of their own. She’s not even shy about the trysts with foreign men she’s had overseas, viewing sexual fulfillment as being equally important for women as it is
    for men. She even has a self-imposed rule that she will not dally with her own countrymen (Englishmen), both because it would ruin her local reputation and she’s not looking to settle down.

    The novel opens upon a funeral. Veronica has just buried the last of her two adoptive aunts and readies herself to leave England behind for a moment and go on a much-needed expedition overseas. Before she can, she stumbles upon a man ransacking her aunts
    home and, in true Veronica fashion, runs him off with a concealed blade. When the man tries to abduct her, a German baron appears, helping her ruin the attempt.

    The baron claims to have known Veronica’s mother, a woman she has never known or seen, but he is forced to be extremely secretive about the knowledge, promising her he will tell her everything when the time is right–but right now she is in grave
    danger, and he must get her to safety.

    Veronica doesn’t believe him, despite the previous abduction attempt, and I have to agree with her reasoning. She claims that she is no one special and, aside from the lepidopterist profession, has led an unremarkable life without making any
    significant enemies of anyone. Plus, she doesn’t know the baron from any other stranger, so why would she believe his judgement?

    Regardless, seeking a new adventure and a free fare, she accompanies him to London, where he leaves her in the care of one of his friends who owes him a debt, a natural historian named Stoker who is as bad-tempered as he is mysteriously solitary. The
    baron tells Stoker to stay with Veronica and protect her with his life until he returns to retrieve her.

    That night, the baron is murdered.

    Veronica and Stoker do not learn this until a few days later. They manage to bond over natural history, but they butt heads about everything. Stoker is surly, and Veronica is neither scared of him nor hesitant to goad him. Both characters are fascinating
    separately, but together they add so much entertainment to the page. I could read about them doing literally anything.

    Both characters can be rash in their own ways, as evidenced by Stoker when he immediately takes Veronica and hides them both at a traveling show, taking the baron’s last request completely seriously. Veronica still believes that the murder has little
    to do with her and that she isn’t the one in danger, but both she and Stoker become determined to discover who the guilty party is so they can move on and be rid of each other.

    As more clues come to light, about the mystery and who they both are, they come to trust and respect each other, both as scientists and people, though still arguing and driving each other crazy all the while.

    I came to love the idea that neither of them have any kind of background as detectives but that they combine their skills as scientists to figure things out. Veronica often leads the charge, making the boldest moves, but Stoker easily holds his own. (The
    knife-throwing scene and the fight scene are nice.)

    Even though I’ve never read anything like Sherlock Holmes or Poroit (yet), I imagine this novel could be considered “mystery light” in that, while a mystery is the purpose of the plot of the novel, the characters are actually its driving force, the
    mystery itself coming somewhat second. Which is totally fine! I believe this could be a good start for anyone who wants to see if mystery is a genre they’re into. For mystery veterans, it may be a bit basic but at least it’s fun. Plus, Deanna
    Raybourn has a true gift with vocabulary and Victorian-style writing. My dictionary app got a lot of use because she effortlessly offered words that many writers just don’t use anymore–and they weren’t even particularly outlandish.

    My hat’s off to Raybourn for another reason, too: she gave me another slowburn romance to be invested in.

    Yes, there is a bit of intrigue between Veronica and Stoker, i.e. a lot of tension. Veronica is lovely and brilliant and not shy about flirting, and Stoker is handsome, also brilliant, and hilariously pent-up. It’s funny to watch Stoker cursing up a
    storm but then blushing at a passing suggestion from Veronica, his regard for privacy being challenged at every turn. Meanwhile, Veronica is stubborn–remember her no Englishman policy? That’s being tested here–and blithe about things that most
    Victorian women would never say in mixed company. They clash and mesh in so many interesting ways.

    And okay, I’ll be honest, if you put both the “fake married” trope and “sharing a bed” trope unabashedly in your novel, I will instantly love it and you because I am, in fact, a sucker. (And she did it so masterfully! Nothing was rushed,
    nothing was forced! Bless, this is the kind of content I want!)

    At least I admit it.

    Overall, the outcome of the mystery was fulfilling while still promising longterm effects related to it down the road. I’m eager for Veronica and Stoker to work together again, to hash out other mysteries, and get into trouble in the process.

    Which is why I’ve already started the sequel, A Perilous Undertaking. Stay tuned!

    Title: Love the mystery; love Stoker; dislike Veronica
    Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2019
    Review: I have been curious about Ms. Raybourn’s new series since it first came out, but this was my first opportunity to read any of the books. I love this author’s writing and plotting style and wondered how I’d feel about Veronica since I had
    thoroughly disliked Lady Julia in the earlier series. Unfortunately, I really, really, really did not like Veronica. Don’t get me wrong, I love a strong, pragmatic, practical, intelligent, and decisive heroine but that wasn’t what I got. In my
    opinion, Veronica is self-centered, overbearing and arrogant – and I’d dislike those traits in a man or a woman. She also goes on and on and on about how unconventional she is. Maybe it hit me so strongly because I listened to the audiobook and it
    just felt like those things were pounding into my brain. That is why my true rating for this book is 3.75 rounded up to 4. The mystery was excellent, the tension between Stoker and Veronica was excellent – well – everything was excellent except
    Veronica herself. I will try another book from later in the series to see if Veronica has mellowed into a real human rather than the caricature she seemed to be in this book.

    Veronica Speedwell was a foundling who was taken in by two ladies who insisted she call them Aunt. They never lived in any one place for long, sometimes moving up to four times a year. She, nor her aunts, ever made friends in any of the places they lived.
    In order to escape the confines of the cottages they lived in, Veronica would escape to the meadows to catch butterflies and she became a renowned lepidopterist. When her last surviving aunt became ill, Veronica returned home from her latest expedition
    to nurse her aunt.

    On her way back to the cottage from her aunt’s funeral, Veronica was going over her plans for her next expedition. As she arrived at the cottage, the door was ajar and she entered to sounds of someone in the kitchen – searching. She grabbed a weapon
    and headed in to apprehend the thief. They fought and the thief ran – but Veronica wasn’t going to let him get away and sprinted after him. When she caught him, they fought and he seized her and began dragging her toward a coach. To her good luck, an
    elderly German man came to her rescue and helped her fight off the villain. Her rescuer tells her she is in extreme danger and offers to take her to London to keep her safe. She doesn’t believe him, but – well – he is offering her a free trip to
    London and that is where she was headed anyway, so she'd just save the money.

    They drove through the night to arrive in London the next morning. However, rather than taking Veronica to his home, her rescuer (Max) took her to his friend (Stoker) and extracted a promise from him to keep Veronica safe no matter what. Max wouldn’t
    explain his reasons because he said he needed to check with someone first and then he’d explain. With that, he took his leave of them.

    Stoker is a man with many secrets, heartaches, and what would appear to be a sad and unhappy life. These things are all hinted at but we don’t learn a lot about him in this book. Since Veronica’s life is the focus of this book, I assume that we’ll
    learn more about Stoker in the upcoming books. I loved Stoker and will be interested to learn his tale in the future.

    The following day, Veronica and Stoker read in the paper where Max was murdered during the night. Stoker immediately insists that they leave London and go someplace where she’ll be safe and they can formulate a plan.

    Veronica and Stoker are off on a wild and exciting adventure with villains coming from several directions. Are any of them good guys or are all of them bad guys? You’ll have to read the book to see. I can assure that you won’t solve the mystery until
    Veronica and Stoker do – and you won’t like the bad guys either – any of them.

    As I said earlier, I love the mystery and I adore Stoker, but Veronica is just too over the top for me. I still recommend the book, just be prepared for Veronica – who I sincerely hope will mellow in future books and become less like a caricature than
    she seemed in this book.

    Review: 🎪 A Curious Beginning 🗡️
    A Veronica Speedwell Mystery Book 1
    ✒️ Deanna Raybourn
    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    This is my first read in this series so I signed myself up for a Veronica Speedwell sort of crash course.
    I will not have time to read all the past books before the new one comes out, but the first one was quite necessary.
    How else to understand the dynamic between the two main protagonists, as even if the story is told from Veronique’s point of view, there is Stoker, her partner in crime.

    And I do not regret it, just I will not have enough time to read all the books, but maybe later!

    What a perfect introduction of a new team.
    Even if I had come to grasp the global line behind the plot and the likely grand schemer, it was a delight to follow Veronica and Stoker in their first foray in sleuthing.
    They make quite a duet, between Veronica’s unconventional perspective, her progressive and adaptative view and lively courage, she is quite the match for Stoker’s surliness, specific talents and experiences.
    Their banter and bickering is just the surface, as while trust will only come when their unconventionally brought together duet is tested again and again, each of them is an asset for their unlikely team, as they both hold secrets and rare skills.

    A much enjoyable first in a series, 5 stars
