I really disliked this book and it just didn´t work for me. The non-existent and terribly boring mystery, pages upon pages of Lady Julia talking to someone about something not plot related, Julia, who is a doormat, and Nicholas, who is an ass, who make for the worst romantic couple ever, the roman...
Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn Book 1 of Lady Julia Grey I’m not sure it’s possible to be more surprised than I am to realize how well I predicted the identity of the murderer and the motives behind it. And the amusing part is that I was really just joking with my BFF as we were doing an...
I liked this, but the rough edges are rough. Pacing is also rather rough. Having read her later books, the author gets better, but.Book also comes out somewhat in the red on the sad gays. There are also happy gays, but that was a lot of sad gays. Thought the bit where Julia is sad because her dead ...

Silent in the Grave was a fun historical mystery read. It was a bit slow for the first 160 pages but after that I had a hard time putting it down. I loved the witty humor which reminded me slightly of Gail Carriger's books and had me laughing out loud a couple of times. I really wish some of the asp...
I bought this book because I was quite enjoying Tasha Alexander's historical mystery series and I'd heard from several corners that this series was even better. When I received my copy, I was rather taken aback by its size: 500+ pages presented a brick of a mystery and admittedly, it intimidated me...
All i can say is why cant I find a Nicholas Brisbane for myself!! Hot, hot, hot!!! Im so glad I found another series that I love! It was a great story, all of the little side stories intertwined perfectly, the character development i thought was fantastic. Raybourne even makes Ravens loveable & cute...
I liked this book, although it is a bit darker than I usually read. It is a historical mystery taking place in the end of the 19th century. After a few years of unhappy marriage, the protagonist Julia’s husband dies. She feels adrift but liberated, until a stranger drops a sinister hint into her min...
This series was recommended ever so thoroughly to me, as it seems to be absolutely my thing (England, lady mystery-solver, historical setting), and I think it simultaneously a) was oversold to me and 2) has elements I just don't like. It's terribly competent in doing its thing; I just don't like the...
The opening lines amused me, "To say that I met Micholas Brisbane over my husband's dead body is not entirely accurate. Edward, it should be noted, was still twitching on the floor." and drew me in. Lady Julia Grey loses her husband at the beginning of the book and disbelieves Nicholas Brisbane wh...
