A review by celiapowell
Silent in the Sanctuary by Deanna Raybourn
4.0
The second Lady Julia mystery does the country house murder thing. Julia returns after her time in Italy for Christmas at her father's house, and after a murder occurs the guests are kept there by the falling snow, allowing Lady Julia (and Nicholas Brisbane, who's conveniently on the scene) to investigate away.
I enjoy these historical-mysteries-with-a-dash-of-romance, and I particularly like that Julia and Brisbane's mutual admiration so restrained and awkward most of the time. There's lots of amusing moments here, and tender ones too - I really enjoy these characters and Raybourn's light witty writing style.
