Content snapshot
Flag an inaccuracy →What's in this book, at a glance — five things readers want to know before they start.
Violence
Some
A murder disguised as a climbing accident opens the book and there is action-oriented danger, but the review consulted found nothing gruesome to flag; Stoker is still recovering from a gunshot in the previous volume
Language
Barely any
Decorous Victorian dialogue throughout
Sexual Content
Some
The Veronica-Stoker relationship continues warmly; nothing explicit is staged
Substance Use
Barely any
Ceremonial drinking at diplomatic functions
Emotional Intensity
Some
Political intrigue and impersonation supply the tension; the reviewer notes the tone is lighter than earlier entries and several character motivations feel underdeveloped rather than dark
What this book is about
The Curiosity Club is mounting an exhibition for the late alpinist Alice Baker-Greene when Stoker finds her climbing rope was cut, not frayed. The investigation entangles Veronica with the tiny principality of Alpenwald, a vanished princess, and a treaty signing at Windsor she has to attend in disguise.
