Though as much as we might use the term “familial relationships,” in effect we’re talking genealogy. These ties serve to make for some of the story’s most complex interactions, and hence, some of the tautest situations and dialogue. Be it your classic sibling rivalry, a character acting out to get their parent’s attention, or in-fighting between family members or amongst cousins to inherit money, land, a title, or a company, the notion of familial links is strong. No matter the type of crime fiction, familial relationships are often the key factor in understanding why a bad deed is committed. Veronica and Stoker are forced to go on the run, wary partners in search of the villainous truth.Every book is a quotation and every house is a quotation out of all forests, and mines, and stone quarries and every man is a quotation from all his ancestors. But before the baron can reveal his secrets, he is found murdered.
The baron offers her sanctuary in the care of his friend Stoker-a reclusive natural historian as intriguing as he is bad-tempered. As familiar with hunting butterflies as she is fending off admirers, Veronica wields her butterfly net and a sharpened hatpin with equal aplomb.But fate has other plans, as Veronica discovers when she thwarts her own abduction with the help of an enigmatic German baron with ties to her mysterious past. Īfter burying her spinster aunt, the orphaned Veronica Speedwell intends to resume her world travels in pursuit of scientific inquiry-and the occasional romantic dalliance.
