Helpful Score: 7

Don't let the cover fool you. This is not primarily a romance (though there is a very tasteful romantic thread running through the book). It is really a mystery--the 3rd in the Lady Julia Grey series.

For this book, Julia follows the enigmatic Nicholas Brisbane to the moor--uninvited, I might add. She gets lots of grief for this decision from both her family and Brisbane himself.

Of course, the moor, being a mysterious place, leads to its own drama. We learn more about Brisbane's life/childhood/background as well as solving a mystery or two.

Part of the reason these books are so delightful is that the author develops BOTH plot and character, instead of one or the other. They are very mild in terms of offensive content and they are delightful to read.

I do recommend, to get the full backstory of Lady Grey and Brisbane, that you start with Silent in the Grave, which was equally as awesome as this installment. You will love them.
