Book Overview

Return to a world of Victorian mystery and magic in the fan-favorite Lady Julia Grey historical series from New York Times bestselling author of Killers of a Certain Age, Deanna Raybourn.

Lady Julia Grey and her husband, detective Nicholas Brisbane, are ready to put their investigative talents to work again. At the urging of Julia's eccentric family, they hurry to India to aid an old friend, the newly widowed Jane Cavendish.

Living on a tea plantation with the remnants of her husband's family, Jane Cavendish is consumed with the impending birth of her child--and with discovering the truth about her husband's death. Was he murdered for his estate? And if he was, could Jane and her unborn child be next?

Amid the lush foothills of the Himalayas, dark deeds are buried and malicious thoughts flourish. The Brisbanes uncover secrets and scandal, illicit affairs and twisted legacies. The danger is palpable and, if they are not careful, Julia and Nicholas will not live to celebrate their first anniversary.

Customer Reviews

unpleasant

It seems the entire book was written just to advertise how selfish and immature Lady Julia is. Honestly? And her husband isn't much of a prize either. Then there are the unnecessary deaths. One of which so angered me that I will not read any more of this series. I have enjoyed the Veronica Speedwell series and several of Rabourn's stand alone books but the Lady Julia series is not only inferior, it is mean spirited.

Deanna Raybourn is a marvelous writer

This is the 4th book in the Lady Julia Grey Mysteries and it's just as thrilling as the first three. I'm new to Deanna Raybourn's novels but I'm devouring every word she writes. If you are a fan of Diana Gabaldon you will love Deanna Raybourn's writings too. Can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series.
