⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? For sure.

Veronica Speedwell, newest member of the Curiosity Club, stumbles upon evidence that the death of a famous mountain climber might not have been an accident. Together with the steady, stalwart Stoker, they slowly uncover the details of Alice Baker-Greene’s murder.

The plot surrounding the murder was pretty convoluted, as usual for Veronica and Stoker. This got a bit tedious at times, but it still managed to keep my interest. The now-usual push-and-pull feelings that Veronica has towards her biological father make you realize once again how difficult and precarious her position is. And it is quite admirable how she deals with it all.

Veronica and Stoker are exactly what you would expect them to be. And what I really enjoyed most in this book, is that it shows their relationship with ups and downs. They have their arguments and disagreements and then they make up and carry on. It’s not all just moonshine and roses all the time.

It was a very enjoyable and intriguing read.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the sixth book in the series and they are best read in order.
