Acerca de esta escucha

Veronica and Stoker discover that not all fairy tales have happy endings, and some end in murder, in this latest historical mystery from New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award-nominated author Deanna Raybourn.

Lord Rosemorran has purchased a wax figure of a beautiful reclining woman and asks Stoker to incorporate a clockwork mechanism to give the Rosemorran Collection its own Sleeping Beauty in the style of Madame Tussaud’s. But when Stoker goes to cut the mannequin open to insert the mechanism, he makes a gruesome discovery: this is no wax figure. The mannequin is the beautifully preserved body of a young woman who was once very much alive. But who would do such a dreadful thing, and why?

Sleuthing out the answer to this question sets Veronica and Stoker on their wildest adventure yet. From the underground laboratories of scientists experimenting with electricity to resurrect the dead in the vein of Frankenstein to the traveling show where Stoker once toured as an attraction, the gaslit atmosphere of London in October is the perfect setting for this investigation into the unknown. Through it all, the intrepid pair is always one step behind the latest villain—a man who has killed once and will stop at nothing to recover the body of the woman he loved. Will they unmask him in time to save his next victim? Or will they become the latest figures to be immortalized in his collection of horrors?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The very definition of a gleeful romp…the historical mystery novels of Deanna Raybourn…sparkle with wit and vigor and feminist-forward thinking.” -Sarah Weinman, The New York Times

"A puzzling mystery bolstered by an exploration of bizarre Victorian mores." -Kirkus

“...possibly the best in the series, with Raybourn’s trademark banter, innuendo, and outstanding lead characters, along with a fascinating plot and supporting cast.” -Library Journal (starred review)

Always enjoyable!

I just did a re-read of all the books in the series before reading this one, and I am astonished by how smitten I still am by all of it. The characters, the story, the dialogue, the settings, it’s all wonderful and delightful and I just can’t say enough good things about this series. Also, Angele Masters is absolutely incredible in her performance. I teared up when I heard that this 9th book was dedicated to her. As I only have time to read via audio, I especially appreciate a good performance, but this is a STELLAR performance. I tell everyone who wants a recommendation of some fiction to get into to read this series. So glad I found it. Deanna Raybourn is a genius.

Masters is always perfection as Veronica

Great humor, especially at the beginning. As always, the author finds a fascinating kernel of history and weaves a fun tale.

Macabre and yet Witty

As usual, our brash, clever heroine pairs with assorted fascinating characters. The dowager duchess is outrageous, and fun. And the atmosphere and times are fascinating.
