A Sinister Revenge by Deanna RaybournMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me, I'll tell you to read it.
In this eighth installment of the Veronica Speedwell series, we are whisked away to the country estate of Lord Templeton-Vane. There, Veronica and Stoker are tasked with determining who may have killed two old friends of Tiberius's and sent him a death threat on copies of their obituaries. Tiberius has invited the remaining group of friends from his younger days, known then as the Seven Sinners, who were all present when the group visited and one young man was found dead on the property after a storm.
I do enjoy these books, as they're wonderfully researched for historical accuracy. For instance, the author had the estate gardens designed by John Tradescant the Younger, who I have been learning about in my Museum Origins course. This book actually managed to keep me guessing as to who the killer may be, which always makes me happy. There was not as much interaction between Veronica and Stoker as previous books, which was disappointing. I was happy to see JJ Butterworth included, even if it was in a minor way. We also got to know more about the younger Templeton-Vane brother, Merryweather.
