Silent on the Moor by Deanna Raybourn
3.0
I'm still enjoying the Lady Julia Grey series. I really adore Deanna Raybourn's writing and I am reading the series along with its accompanying novellas. Julia, true to form, in meddling and prying in Brisbane's life. She has finagled her way into accompanying Portia to Brisbane's new estate, all while dragging her pets and brother Valerius in tow. They arrive only to be surprised that Brisbane is not the only one in residence. For the female members of the family who, until recent events, owned the estate are still in residence.
There isn't exactly a case to be solved in this installment. But there is still a mystery, and an intruiging one at that because it touches on Brisbane's past.
To be completely honest this book had a lot of filler and background information and there were points where I wondered why I was still reading because it felt as though it was lacking plot. But I continued on and I'm glad I did. There were several mini mysteries threaded throughout the book.
I was able to guess who the parents of the twins were as soon as they were discovered secreted away because there was just something very off about that family. And I had narrowed it down to two people that I thought might be the culprit and shortly before the moment of truth I had decided upon the right villian that was targeting Brisbane.
There were some high stakes in this one. Brisbane, Julia, and Valerius all met with some danger or foul play. We met some of Brisbane's family and learned a bit more of his past. Plus there is finally some real progress between the two. And thanks to some opportune timing they will finally be together.
