Return to a world of Victorian mystery and magic with New York Times bestselling author Deanna Raybourn’s fan-favorite Lady Julia Grey historical series

Lady Julia Grey and her husband, detective Nicholas Brisbane, are ready to put their investigative talents to work again. At the urging of Julia’s eccentric family, they hurry to India to aid an old friend, the newly widowed Jane Cavendish.

Living on a tea plantation with the remnants of her husband’s family, Jane Cavendish is consumed with the impending birth of her child—and with discovering the truth about her husband’s death. Was he murdered for his estate? And if he was, could Jane and her unborn child be next?

Amid the lush foothills of the Himalayas, dark deeds are buried and malicious thoughts flourish. The Brisbanes uncover secrets and scandal, illicit affairs and twisted legacies. The danger is palpable and, if they are not careful, Julia and Nicholas will not live to celebrate their first anniversary.

A good romp of a read, a very genteel murder mystery but fun.

This book has a different cover than the one shown.

This is now heading off to bookfrogster as part of the International Wishlist Tag Game, hope you enjoy this as much as I did :-)

This has arrived safely in Edinburgh. Thank you so much for sending this, it's just what I fancy reading at the moment.

If you are looking for a serious read, this is not the one for you. BUT, if what you need is some lighthearted escapism then this is a good one. As always with novels set in British colonies during this time period, a lot of the characters are awful people, but some of them get their comeuppance. Thanks for sending this one Yorkshire-lass, will try to get it travelling again soon.

No takers at the meet up last week so set free in the Little Free Library. Happy reading!
