In Grimsgrave Hall, enigmatic Nicholas Brisbane has inherited a ruined estate, replete with uncanny tenants and one unwanted houseguest: Lady Julia Grey

Despite his admonitions to stay away, Lady Julia arrives in Yorkshire to find Brisbane as remote and maddeningly attractive as ever. Cloistered together, they share the moldering house with the proud but impoverished remnants of an ancient family: the sort that keeps their bloodline pure and their secrets close. Lady Allenby and her daughters, dependent upon Brisbane and devastated by their fall in society, seem adrift on the moor winds, powerless to change their fortunes. But poison does not discriminate between classes....

A mystery unfolds from the rotten heart of Grimsgrave, one Lady Julia may have to solve alone, as Brisbane appears inextricably tangled in its heinous twists and turns. But blood will out, and before spring touches the craggy northern landscape, Lady Julia will have uncovered a Gypsy witch, a dark rider and a long-buried legacy of malevolence and evil.

Silent on the Moor af Deanna Raybourn

  1. 10
    Stormfulde højder af Emily Brontë (spygirl)
    spygirl: I didn't really enjoy Wuthering Heights, but Silent on the Moor has a similar setting (the windswept Yorkshire moors) and time period, as well as tragedies, family skeletons, and Gypsy connections.

The Lady Julia Grey series (this is #3) is in a genre I thought I would never enjoy--romance, with mystery as a second theme. Never say never. Clever, funny, great character development, interesting plot….fabulously entertaining. Miniseries anyone? If you want to have some fun, read this. ( )

Pese a que Nicholas Brisbane le había advertido que se mantuviera lejos de él, lady Julia Grey apareció en la finca que el distante y atractivo detective había heredado en Yorkshire. Así, ambos se vieron obligados a compartir aquella casona en ruinas con las últimas descendientes de una familia de ilustre linaje, que había mantenido bien ocultos sus secretos. Después de haber perdido la fortuna familiar y de haber caído en el olvido social, lady Allenby y sus hijas dependían de Brisbane. Aquellas mujeres estaban a la deriva, arrastradas por los vientos del pantano, incapaces de cambiar su propio destino. En el corazón podrido de Grimsgrave había un misterio que tal vez lady Julia tuviera que desentrañar sola, ya que Brisbane estaba fuera de combate a causa del veneno que alguien le había suministrado. Sin embargo, la sangre hablaría, y antes de que la primavera llegara a los páramos del norte, lady Julia habría descubierto un antiguo legado de maldad.

This is the third in a series of romantic mysteries whose primary characters are Lady Julia Grey, a young widow and Nicholas Brisbane, the son of a gypsy. Although the plot of his third volume is not entirely realistic, it's fun escape reading. ( )

Not as good as the first two, but only marginally less so, and really only because it took awhile before any of the plot really got moving. This made the book feel LONG.

Saying that, I don't know if I'd actually go so far as to claim it would improve with heavy editing. Perhaps. But the bulk of the first half of the book does do a very good job of setting the atmosphere, which is bleak and oppressive (does anything cheerful EVER take place on the moors?) and something-is-definitely-not-right-here.

And boy howdy is something not right at Grimsgrave. Once the story got moving, so did my pulse rate. The conclusion of the plot left me feeling like I might never be clean again; the author manages to vividly convey a diabolical depravity without celebrating it or wallowing in it, making it possible for people like myself (with a low threshold for such things) to read it without screaming.

Less humor in this one, although the dry wit is still to be found. Lady Julia is really rather putting it all on the line in this book, and when Brisbane isn't acting like an arrogant ass, he's actually acting quite a bit more human, albeit oftentimes I wanted to tell him to get over himself. His "gift" continues to be a burden that is avoided at all costs and never used; given the times and the cost, this actually makes sense. Julia's sister Portia is here too and her life changes rather dramatically during the course of the book. Brother Valerius reappears but is mostly background.

The ending is all wrapped up rather neatly with a HEA for almost everyone. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I look forward to starting the next one (although I am taking a break from the series to avoid burnout). ( )
