ladyhighwayman 's review for:

Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn
3.0

So I guess I was expecting something spectacular from all the reviews I read. The book was entertaining, but the mystery was not all that gripping. I felt the story of a year in the lady's life was written and then a mystery was quickly woven in at the last minute. Oh, and I figured out who the murderer was about half-way through the book.

The strong character of Nicholas Brisbane is what kept the plot from completely collapsing. Raybourn has created a very, very intriguing character with him. I couldn't have cared less about the actual mystery; I just wanted to learn more about him.

I expect the next installment to be better. With a series like this, the first installment is never the best.
