A Ghastly Catastrophe by Deanna Raybourn
It's been several months since Veronica and Stoker have had a mystery to solve, and they are both bored and dying for a new adventure. When two aristocratic young men die under mysterious circumstances, Inspector Mornaday of Scotland Yard enlists their help to investigate rumors that the the two young men were involved in a secret cult devoted to vampirism.
Another enjoyable outing with Veronica and her inamorata Revelstoke Templeton-Vane, aka Stoker, #10 in the series. There is a brief appearance of Lady Julia Grey and Nicholas Brisbane, the main characters in the author’s other historical mystery series. If you haven’t read that series, I highly recommend it. The first book is Silent in the Grave, which has one of the best opening lines I’ve read.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC for review.
Highgate Cemetery in London, about as creepy a cemetery as you can find
