Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn

3.0

Overall, I enjoyed this book, largely because of the premise and setting, and I always enjoy Deanna Raybourn's writing style. Admittedly, the plot moved a bit slowly and I figured out who the murderer was way before Lady Julia (or Brisbane, who didn't seem to do much detective work). I guess this is more a series to read to get to know the characters than for the mystery aspect, but it still made it hard to keep reading when I was just waiting for Julia to figure it out already!! I also agree with other reviewers that there was just too much going on and some reveals weren't very believable.

I'll probably read a few more in the series to see how Julia and Brisbane develop as characters, but I may need to take a Victorian historical mystery break for awhile before then!
