Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn
4.0

I really loved the combination of social mores and gothic mystery - Georgette Heyer meets ACD with a liberal dose of The Brontes. Lady Julia is wonderful and the supporting characters are really interesting: the lesbian older sister, the Italian butler who used to be an acrobat, the Tower Raven!

I'm not as enamoured with Brisbane. Teenaged!me would have fallen in love with him, but I think I'm a bit tired of brooding men with mysterious pasts and a dark side. But I loved all the UST.

I guessed the culprit about half way through, but it didn't spoil my enjoyment because the 'why' was a big surprise.
