REVIEW: A Perilous Undertaking by Deanna Raybourn

In this second outing for lepidopterist Veronica Speedwell and her natural historian colleague Stoker, they find themselves at loose ends after a canceled research trip abroad.  But not for long – a summons from Queen Victoria’s daughter requires them to race the clock to find the true murderer of a painter – before the person arrested for the crime is hanged.  From society gatherings to an undertaker’s office, Veronica and Stoker gather clues and ferret out secrets – but will they survive to complete their task?
