Impossible Impostor Deanna Raybourn
Four *** In AN IMPOSSIBLE IMPOSTOR, Deanna Raybourn’s 7th entry in her Veronica Speedwell series set in Victorian London, we find Veronica and her erstwhile partner/lover Stoker are asked by Sir Hugo Montgomerie, head of Special Branch for a favor. They are to go to deadly moors of Dartmoor to see if a man purporting to be the eldest and heir, thought long dead, is a phony.
Veronica and Stoker go to Hathaway Hall and find more than they bargained for. Veronica comes face to face with a ghost from her past. There is a blood red ruby, a Maharini, a con man, kidnapping and secrets long held thrown into the mix.
As always Veronica and Stoker make a wonderful duo, and while the story is lots of fun, it’s not quite as good as the previous entries. But do read it anyway.
