amyjoy 's review for:
Silent in the Grave
by Deanna Raybourn
I stayed up waaaay too late finishing this, but once I hit the halfway point, I couldn't put it down. I've realize that I really enjoy these historical mysteries with a slow burn romance (though I *might* wish the romance were a little less slow-burning).
Lady Julia was a great, strong willed heroine, and I loved her whole family (including a bisexual sister! In a long term relationship with a lady!). I immediately downloaded the second book, as I think I'll want to revisit these characters.
I did guess the murderer pretty early on, as well as one or two other twists, but there were still things that surprised me. I love police procedurals and enjoy trying to guess the killer, so it doesn't bother me too much if the culprit seems fairly obvious, as I'm there more for the journey than the conclusion (though I had NO IDEA what this murderer's motive was, so that was nice).
