Honestly, this book was just about perfect. The setting is, by far, the best yet in the series. A possibly-haunted castle on an idyllic Cornish island, full of secret passages and priest holes and poison gardens and villagers with The Sight? YES, PLEASE. Plus, there was a wonderful amount of character development, not only for Veronica and Stoker, but Stoker's brother Tiberius, as well. The whole thing was delicious from beginning to end. I am already dying for the next book in the series, whenever it may come!

I’ve grown to love this series, and I’ve eagerly awaited this installment for a year. I wasn’t disappointed! The only thing that I find upsetting is that I’ll have to wait more than a year for the next book!

Thanks NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for this advanced readers copy.

I wait all year for the newest Speedwell and Stoker novel and then I greedily devour the entire book in one night. Every year. Sigh. I just love these characters.

A Dangerous Collaboration is the fourth Speedwell and Stoker novel. The setting and the plot are gothic mystery at its best—ghosts and murderers and a castle on a remote island—yes! The characters are moving forward personally, inch by slow inch. Readers will laugh aloud at their antics and wit. If the fifth novel were finished, I would have read it immediately.

Fans of the series will love this installment. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy.
