A Dangerous Collaboration by Deanna Raybourn A castle on a secluded island off Cornwall. Hidden tunnels and priest holes. A poison garden. The vanished bride. And one of my favorite tropes—the house party where every guest has a secret. On the pretext of wanting a companion to accompany him to Lord Malcolm Romilly's house party. Each guest has been invited to the island under false pretenses, and as ghosts begin appearing and mysterious events start happening, Veronica and Stoker work to discover what happened to the host’s wife years ago and who is currently stirring up trouble In the end, A Dangerous Collaboration is an excellent addition to the Veronica Speedwell series New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Deanna Raybourn is a 6th-generation native Texan. She graduated with a double major in English and history from the University of Texas at San Antonio Praises: “Deliciously gothic…. A brooding castle, rain-lashed windows, hidden passages, and a séance all contribute to a delightfully creepy tale with twists that would make Daphne du Maurier proud."—Publishers Weekly
