I had had mixed emotions about the first two books of this series, so had no preconceived ideas on how Silent on the Moor would be. I basically got the book to see if Lady Julia Grey and Nicholas Brisbane finally declared their "affection" for one another for I've grown fond of the characters, even if Lady Julia's inner dialogues aggravate me at times.
Ms. Raybourn has a habit of bringing in a character's personal background in one story, but not clarifying it until later. This is the basis for Silent on the Moor because one learns of Brisbane's history, and how it affects others in this tale.
Ms. Raybourn's "mysteries" have a macabre tendency which were very evident in this book. I think if she kept to a more "conventional" style (i.e., Dame Agatha Christie) I would like her books more.
