Treacherous Curse
Treacherous Curse | Deanna Raybourn
Members of an Egyptian expedition fall victim to an ancient mummy's curse in a thrilling Veronica Speedwell novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Lady Julia Grey mysteries. London, 1888. As colorful and unfettered as the butterflies she collects, Victorian adventuress Veronica Speedwell can't resist the allure of an exotic mystery--particularly one involving her enigmatic colleague, Stoker. His former expedition partner has vanished from an archaeological dig with a priceless diadem unearthed from the newly discovered tomb of an Egyptian princess. This disappearance is just the latest in a string of unfortunate events that have plagued the controversial expedition, and rumors abound that the curse of the vengeful princess has been unleashed as the shadowy figure of Anubis himself stalks the streets of London. But the perils of an ancient curse are not the only challenges Veronica must face as sordid details and malevolent enemies emerge from Stoker's past. Caught in a tangle of conspiracies and threats--and thrust into the public eye by an enterprising new foe--Veronica must separate facts from fantasy to unravel a web of duplicity that threatens to cost Stoker everything. . . .

I never read series. It's a problem I have. However, I can't stop reading this series. I love the wit and banter of the main characters. The plots are mysteries are easy to figure out but they are fun. This time Veronica and Stoker are looking for a missing archaeologist who may or may not of fallen victim to a mummy's curse. I give this one 5 stars

Karisimo I‘m not a series reader either- It makes me feel trapped! 8mo
Linear I like series that already have come out. Try jot to think of it as a series so much as a really big book that had to be split into smaller books so you don't break your wrist trying to hold it up to read. Lol 8mo
Jenken1998 @Linear that's a good idea! 8mo

Another pitch perfect mystery for the third installment in the series. I appreciate the characterization continuity, even as new secrets are revealed, Veronica and Stoker remain unique and stubborn each in their own way, admiring each other when not thoroughly exasperated or exasperating. Outrageous moments and banter deliver regular chortles. Still hoping for a novel where they go on expedition outside London though!

This series is ridiculously fun. My older daughter and I are trading them back and forth as I soak up some relaxation and a couple vacation days 🌞👓⛱️
Book 3 finds Veronica and Stoker investigating an Egyptian archeological dig gone awry. We also get more of Stoker's backstory in this one.

Another fun outing with Veronica and Stoker. This series really demands you walk around the house with your nose in a book until it‘s finished! Fun, smart and an original series - with a cast of characters, main and side, that delight. My only quibble with this one - it would have been good to have toned down the empire activity ( and if not - rework that narrative). But this is a fab series to get your reading game back in gear.

Veronica Speedwell is such a fun main character. While I‘m reading I always wonder how she‘d get along with Charlotte Holmes from the Lady Sherlock series.

The mystery this time brings more of Stoker‘s background, which was good. I‘m interested to see what happens next. I‘m glad I still have several of these left to read.

This was my #BookSpin for August.

I‘m thoroughly enjoying the charming, witty narrative voice in this series. I especially loved the Egyptology plot in this book, which reminded me of the Amelia Peabody mysteries, and I was totally riveted by the side plot involving Stoker. Also, I appreciated that the author took a step to highlight how problematic Egyptology & other archeological pursuits by the British were in the 1800s. On to book 4! ★★★★☆.

Chrissyreadit I‘m 2/3 through now and enjoying it. 5y
rretzler I thought of Amelia Peabody too when I read this - Veronica does have an Amelia vibe! For some reason, I never did finish that series, I still have several books to go so I‘ll have to get back to them. 5y

The third book in the Veronica Speedwell series goes more into depth about Stoker's past, leaving more intriguing questions about the history and futures of both he and Veronica. These books get better and better and I am going to be so sad when I get to the 4th book and then I have to wait for more. I just may continue on with the story in my head. It is that good.

robinb Absolutely adore this series! I‘m putting off reading the 4th one! 🤣 5y
