"Veronica Speedwell navigates a dark world of scandal and murder in this new adventure from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award nominated author Deanna Raybourn. Veronica Speedwell and her natural historian colleague Stoker are asked by Lady Wellingtonia Beauclerk to help with a potential scandal so explosive it threatens to rock the monarchy. Prince Albert Victor is a regular visitor to the most exclusive private club in London, known as the Club de l'Etoile, and the proprietress, Madame Aurore, has received an expensive gift that can be traced back to the prince. Lady Wellie would like Veronica and Stoker to retrieve the jewel from the club before scandal can break. Worse yet, London is gripped by hysteria in the autumn of 1888, terrorized by what would become the most notorious and elusive serial killer in history, Jack the Ripper--and Lady Wellie suspects the prince may be responsible. Veronica and Stoker reluctantly agree to go undercover at Madame Aurore's high class brothel, where another body soon turns up. Many secrets are swirling around Veronica and the royal family--and it's up to Veronica and Stoker to find the truth, before it's too late for all of them"-- Provided by publisher.

Political Intrigue In Jack-The-Ripper London submitted by BookNerd on July 4, 2022, 12:33am This richly developed cast of characters takes on the Jack the Ripper case, or at least the scandalous possibility that a highly placed Royal might be involved.

Veronica Speedwell is a free-thinking single woman who makes a living as a lepidopterist, but who also has a strong partnership with the aristocratic Stoker. Their story arc progresses through the series, and provides both humorous and romantic side plots.

One of the best historical/romance series around.
