Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Fans and new readers alike will welcome this sparkling sequel to Raybourn's debut Victorian mystery, Silent in the Grave (2007). Left homeless by fire, wealthy widow Lady Julia Grey has been recuperating in Italy. With Christmas approaching, Julia returns to England, where she joins her large and eccentric family at their equally large and eccentric ancestral estate, a former monastery that retains some monkish ghosts. Nicholas Brisbane, a private enquiry agent with whom Julia has shared both a heated embrace and a stint at detection, is among the holiday houseguests, and to Julia's astonishment Brisbane is in line for a title and engaged. Then a local curate is murdered in the former church sanctuary, and a set of priceless pearls goes missing. Headstrong and clever Julia joins Brisbane in investigating the crimes, deciphering his personal situation in the process. Readers may wish for a bit more romantic development, but the complex mystery, a delightfully odd collection of characters and deft period details produce a rich and funny read. (Jan.)

3.0 out of 5 stars A Blend of Romance and Mystery, Dec 20 2008

By	Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Silent In The Sanctuary (Mass Market Paperback)

The novel continues from where the "Silent in the Grave" finished:

Returning home after a 6 months stay in Italy with her brothers Plum and Lysander, Lady Julia Grey gets a chance once again for excitement at Bellmont Abbey. The previous year, she had developed a taste for intrigue and danger after helping Nicholas Brisbane in the hunt for her husband's killer.

Once home in England, they find the Family Estate crowded with family and friends invited for Christmas; the enigmatic and compelling Nicholas Brisbane is amongst them. The festivities are soon chattered when one of the guests is found dead and murder is suspected. When a cousin steps forward and asks for sanctuary, Julia has doubts and once again finds herself working with Brisbane following ghosts and tangled leads to sort through clues in order to solve the murder.

This novel is a blend between romance and mystery driven and populated with richly drawn characters and settings. The premise of the story is interesting enough but I found the introduction dragged before action kicked in, I became impatient for something to happen. The plot finally picked up during the second half and gave us entertaining twists that led to an enjoyable ending.

By	M. Antkowski (Mississauga, ON Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Another page turner from Deanna Raybourn. All the mystery, romance and well scripted dialouge that makes you think and anticipate what will happen next. Can't wait for the next novel in this series!
