An intriguing read. I really enjoy how Deanna Raybourn writes.

Stopped at 35%-- the heroine's combination of ignorance/naivete, arrogance, and total unawareness of her own privilege were just too offputting.

This book was fine. Nothing incredible but still entertaining. I am not sure if I will pick up the next book. Perhaps when I have nothing else to read.

I always love a good mystery, and this was one. I also love a good strong female character, and Lady Julia Grey did not disappoint, although I did feel she could have been a little bit smarter in some of her actions. I mean think through a few things before jumping head first into them. Still, though, thoroughly enjoyed this book.

3.5 stars. this book had much more melodrama than I expected but it was still quite good. Poor Julia... by the end . I didn't really care for Brisbane... I mean comparing him a bit to Heathcliff seems right on.
