Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourne
book 1 in the “Lady Julia Grey Mystery” series
Rating: 4.5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. I’m a sucker for a smart female character, delightful use of language with no dumbed-down vocabulary, and enough twists and turns to keep me guessing.
I probably should have read this before picking up later books in the series, but it wasn’t available. There were some parts of the storyline that were spoiled because I’d read the later books, but it was good to finally catch up on the backstory.
