Partners now in marriage and in trade, Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane have finally returned from abroad to set up housekeeping in London. But merging their respective collections of gadgets, pets and servants leaves little room for the harried newlyweds themselves, let alone Brisbane's private enquiry business. Among the more unlikely clients: Julia's very proper brother, Lord Bellmont, who swears Brisbane to secrecy about his case. Not about to be left out of anything concerning her belovedif eccentricfamily, spirited Julia soon picks up the trail of the investigation. It leads to the exclusive Ghost Club, where the alluring Madame Seraphine holds evening seancesand not a few powerful gentlemen in thrall. From this eerie enclave unfolds a lurid tangle of dark deeds, whose tendrils crush reputations and throttle trust. Shocked to find their investigation spun into salacious newspaper headlines, bristling at the tension it causes between them, the Brisbanes find they must unite or fall. For Bellmont's sakeand morethey'll face myriad dangers born of dark secrets, the kind men kill to keep. "

Oh. This had a good pace and was far better than the last two books.

Book 5 in the Lady Julia Grey series.

I did it! The tagged book was # 300. This was kind of a ridiculous goal, but it's fun to have accomplished this. Next year I'm setting a more leisurely goal.

It starts in this book, and by the time Lady Julia and Brisbane work their way through the novellas that ended this series, they are, in my opinion, #smugmarrieds. Minnie decided to photo bomb, because she thinks I take too many pictures that include Mickey 😄

#feistyfeb My choice for #historicheroine is Lady Julia Gray. Maybe because she was such a feisty character. I was disappointed when the author chose to end this series, but her new one makes up for it. My collection is missing the first, and my favorite, Silent in the Grave, because someone didn't return a loan. And I can't remember who that someone is. Groan😕

DGRachel Grr. I do not loan books anymore for just that reason. I got tired of having to replace my copies. 😡 8y

While I'm enjoying this series, I have been a little annoyed with the heroine throughout these first few books. She has a habit of being overly inquisitive, which invariably ends with a huge disagreement with her husband as well as her own tendency to end up making mistakes.
However with the ending of this book, I see hope for her growth. I was also happy with how Brisbane's character developed in this one. Looking forward to the next one! #osrbc

Karenlovesbooks Thanks for reminding me that I need to catch up on this series! More books! 📚🤓 (edited) 8y
robinb I'm enjoying it overall, just get a little frustrated sometimes with what seems to be immature behavior on Lady Julia's part. 😜 8y

My favorite is still the first book in the series. I enjoy the banter and lovely repartee and the romance is rather sweet. perfect escape for a cold winter's night
