Review: A Case of Grave Danger (The Violet Veil Mysteries)!

Review: A Case of Grave Danger (The Violet Veil Mysteries) by Sophie Cleverly

A breakout new detective series, from the author of the spine-tingling SCARLET AND IVY series, beautifully illustrated by Hannah Peck.

Violet Veil wants nothing more than to prove her worth and become her father’s apprentice at Veil Sons Undertakers. And one rain-soaked night she gets her chance when she meets a boy, Oliver, who is wandering around the graveyard. Only, the last time Violet saw Oliver, he was indoors and very much dead, waiting to be buried. Violet has just found her first case, and it doesn’t get bigger than this: can she, with the help of her dog, Bones, help Oliver solve his own ‘murder’?

Plot: Historical Mysteries are something I'm always drawn to, so when I saw this MG book on NetGalley, I knew I had to read it! And I'm happy I did! This was a wonderful mystery, with a truly difficult to figure out culprit. The book had a hint of the paranormal (No spoilers for people who haven't read it!), but was otherwise a regular mystery, that I really enjoyed reading!

Characters: Violet was a great main character! And I liked all the supporting characters, as well.

The Cover: I really like it!

Overall: This was an excellent beginning to a new MG series, that I will eagerly anticipate reading more books from! I definitely recommend reading it!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
