🎧 Kills Well With Others by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn.bsky.social @JaneOppenheimer @christinadelaine.bsky.social @penguinaudio.bsky.social @deannaraybourn @ChrisDelaine @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I had always wanted to read this author and really enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age. I was thrilled the Killers of a Certain Age would continue as a series. The women seemed to be retired without being erased after the last adventure about two years ago. We have Helen, Natalie, Mary Alice and Billie. […]

🎧 A Grave Robbery by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters @recordedbooks #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

I think my most anticipated book every year is latest installment of the Veronica Speedwell series. I don’t hesitate to use my Audible credits to pre-order them, and spend the entire month before the release re-listening to the earlier installments. A Grave Robbery is book number nine in this fun, well-written series. I can hardly […]

🎧 A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters @recordedbooks #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

Veronica Speedwell is a dashing lepidopterist and sometimes crime-fighting sleuth in Victorian England. She is one of my favorite all time heroines, even when she behaves badly or won’t own up to her feelings. In A Dangerous Collaboration, the fifth installment in the the Veronica Speedwell Mystery series by Deanna Raybourn, the intrepid Veronica finds herself […]

Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn @BerkleyPub @sophiarose1618

Nothing like the gift of a cruise to send four older female assassins out in style, especially since the company has decided that only a deadly termination of their employment will do. Deanna Raybourn has written some sparkling historical mysteries, but this dive into a modern day thriller with senior citizen protagonists grabbed my fancy […]

🎧 Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn @JaneOppenheimer @ChrisDelaine @PRHAudio #LoveAudiobooks

I really enjoyed Killers of a Certain Age! There is a trend towards these stories where an older person is a sleuth or in this case – assassin. I loved seeing the different way the women approached their work, their lives and their relationships. We have Helen, Natalie, Mary Alice and Billie. We mostly have […]

🎧 An Impossible Imposter by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters @RecordedBooks #LoveAudiobooks

The Veronica Speedwell series follows lady sleuth Veronica as she seems to fall into dangerous plot, kidnappings and murders. In An Impossible Imposter, it looked like she was going to have a better time of it all. All she needs to do is go to an estate in her role as a Lepidopterist to look […]

🎧 An Unexpected Peril by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters @RecordedBooks #LoveAudiobooks

The Veronica Speedwell series is very much a Sherlock Holmish mystery and while An Unexpected Peril is again a mystery, this time Veronica spends more time pretending to be someone she is not, than solving a mystery. Veronica, Lepidopterist by trade, is no stranger to royalty since she is the illegitimate (or legitimate sort of […]

🎧 A Murderous Relation by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters @RecordedBooks #LoveAudiobooks

Veronica Speedwell series has been a lot of fun so far and A Murderous Relation, the fifth book of the series is no exception. Veronica, a lepidopterist (someone who studies butterflies) by trade, and adventurer by accident has just stumbled head first into another mystery. It is amazing how many times she gets both herself […]

A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn #AngeleMasters @recordedbooks #LoveAudiobooks

I am not embarrassed to admit a well-designed cover is sometimes the deciding factor in my book selection. And no, it’s not always a naked, male torso either. In looking at a list of historical romantic suspense, my attention was captured by the flourishing text and simple silhouettes of A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn. […]
