Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn
5.0
This might be my favorite Lady Julia novel. Raybourn creates such well-rounded characters in this series that I always feel like I am getting to spy on a real, if somewhat quirky, family. Both the familial and romantic relationships feel authentic and are really the heart of this novel. Thematically I might sum it up by say that loving is a painful joy. It is the depth of loving relationships that make this installment so moving. Warning: you will cry (at least I did)!
As with all the previous novels, the mystery at the center was inventive and the pacing well planned out. I never felt like Julia was being dense or missing the obvious, but I also didn't feel like the solution came out of left field.
