My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I’ll tell you to read it (but read the others in the series first!)

Book Summary:

London, 1889. Veronica Speedwell and Stoker are summoned by Sir Hugo Montgomerie, head of Special Branch, with a special non-official request. Determine if the man who has appeared at the home of his god-daughter is who he claims. Eldest son, Jonathan, was believed killed in a volcanic eruption, and now a man claiming to be him has shown up at the family home.

Veronica and Stoker agree to go to Hathaway Hall to covertly investigate the mysterious amnesiac. Veronica is soon shocked to find herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past. To help Sir Hugo discover the truth, she must open doors to her own history that she long believed to be shut for good.

Review:

Through this story line, we learn a little more about Veronica’s history. We had a pretty big surprise dropped into the mix! No spoilers, but there were definitely things I didn’t see coming! I always enjoy a good mystery romp with Veronica and Stoker. I love her strong mind and will to always seek the truth, without fear or worry or repercussions. Through a series of twists and turns in the story, there turns out to be more than one mystery to solve (the mysterious man’s identity, and a missing jewel). I really enjoyed the extra little bit of history that was thrown in about the British Empire during the time preceding the story time period.
