First book that I've read by this author and I really enjoyed the book, it was hard to put down. The plot moved along at a good pace for me, not too slow or too fact, but where you yourself could try and figure out the mystery at hand with the characters. Lady Julia grows into herself throughout the book and is a nice mix of who she wants to be, with sprinkles of her families illustrious history mixed in (you'll have to read the book to understand).
Nicholas Brisbane is definately an interesting character, he isn't at all what you think he is and the author does a good job at dropping pieces of his past in interesting ways as the story progresses, which only serves to make one want to learn more.
The interaction between Lady Julia and Nicholas is at times funny & frustrating, but it is always interesting.
The surrounding characters, Lady Julia's family, the servants and other characters that you get to meet along the way, are all interesting and well written and add to the story in delightful ways ~ where it's to add a funny moment to break the seriousness of the mystery at hand or to help with the mystery.
Looking forward to reading this series to see what other mysteries Lady Julia will happen upon and to see what will happen between her and Nicholas.

With all the information given in this book, as it is the 1st in a series, I would have to recommend that this one be read first before the others.

1) Silent in the Grave
2) Silent in the Sanctuary
3) Silent on the Moor
