She is concerned that this unrest could be a threat to the royal family, in the form of rising republicanism. Lady Wellie summons Stoker and Veronica to discuss the Jack the Ripper case, which has gripped London and caused unrest. Lady Wellie has strong ties to the British royal family and has acted as a sort of eminence grise for them for decades. But the two are quickly plunged into a new mystery involving Lady Wellie, the great aunt of their benefactor Lord Rosemorran. Stoker still has stitches from a stab wound to his arm, and both of them are grappling with the fact that they essentially admitted their love for each other in that book.
Veronica and her partner in crime (-solving) and love interest Stoker are recovering, physically and emotionally, from the events of book four when this story opens. Big spoilers for the series appear below, so be forewarned. This is the fifth book in the Veronica Speedwell mystery series I’ve read and reviewed the first four books.
