Veronica Speedwell Mysteries

Step into a world of intrigue, wit, and complex mysteries with The Veronica Speedwell Mysteries. Set in the late 19th century, this series follows the adventurous and fiercely independent Veronica Speedwell, a woman with a knack for solving puzzles and a penchant for uncovering the secrets of the past. In each book, Veronica dives into a new mystery, often alongside her reluctant partner, the brooding, enigmatic Stoker, a former soldier with a mysterious past of his own.

Veronica is no ordinary Victorian woman—she’s a daring, forward-thinking lepidopterist (a butterfly expert) who refuses to be confined by society’s expectations of women. Her fierce independence and sharp intellect make her a captivating protagonist, unafraid to follow her instincts even when danger looms at every corner. The dynamic between Veronica and Stoker crackles with chemistry, filled with sharp banter, tension, and a slow-burning mutual respect that adds depth to their partnership.

Veronica Speedwell Mysteries consists of ten books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
