A Curious Beginning: A Veronica Speedwell Mystery by Deanna RaybournNAL/Penguin, 2015
337 p.
Veronica Speedwell is an unconventional Victorian orphan with a love for natural history, adventure, and handsome foreign men who finds herself thrust into the middle of a murderous plot. I love Raybourn's previous Lady Julia Grey series of historical mysteries, and this is a delightful start to a new series. Recommended for fans of Laurie King's Mary Russell or Elizabeth Peters's Amelia Peabody, or anyone who likes smart, feminist detective stories with humor and a dash of romance.
