Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn
5.0

It's been sometime since I went hunting for the sequel to a book before I finished the first volume, but Ms. Raybourn had me hooked from the first chapter. This is the best series debut mystery I've read since Laurie King's The Beekeeper's Apprentice, and Lady Julia Grey may prove to be one of the best literary creations since Mary Russell.
