I'm not a fan of mysteries but I keep coming back to Deanna's books. I really love spending time with the characters in the Veronica Speedwell series - and this book had all of the elements of them that I adore. At the same time, I wish these characters were in a different genre, the mysteries keep getting in the way of the parts I like best. It's not fair for me to rate this book poorly because of it, but for me I'd call this a 3 star book. I'm sure anyone who enjoys mysteries would rate this higher.
