A Grave Robbery
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
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?

April 8, 2024
In bestseller Raybourn’s whirlwind ninth historical adventure for Veronica Speedwell (after An Impossible Impostor), the lepidopterist teams up with taxidermist Stoker Templeton-Vane to identify a cadaver trapped in a wax figure. At the novel’s outset, the Earl of Rosemorran commissions Veronica and Stoker to install a waxwork figure of a “maiden captured in enchanted slumber” with a mechanical engine for the entertainment of his spoiled 11-year-old daughter. When the pair makes the first cut, they discover the figure is, in fact, an actual corpse entombed in wax. Shocked, they set out to identify the deceased, launching an investigation that takes them to various macabre corners of Victorian London, including a freak show featuring a spider woman, an underground railway through a chilling necropolis, and a group of researchers using “applied galvanics” to resurrect the dead. Vibrant secondary characters, a sea of plausible suspects, and a steadily growing body count make this a treat for series devotees and newcomers alike. Agent: Pam Hopkins, Hopkins Literary Assoc.
