But the dead do not always lie quietly, do they, lady?' It is England, 1888. Grimsgrave Manor is an unhappy house, isolated on the Yorkshire moors, silent and secretive. But secrets cannot be long kept in the face of Lady Julia Grey's incurable curiosity. In the teeth of protests from her conventional, stuffy brother, Lady Julia decides to pay a visit to the enigmatic detective, Nicholas Brisbane to bring a woman's touch to his new estate. Grimsgrave is haunted by the ghosts of its past, and its owner seems to be falling into ruin along with the house. Confronted with gypsy warnings and Brisbane's elusive behaviour, Lady Julia scents a mystery. It's not long before her desire for answers leads her into danger unlike any other that she has experienced - and from which, this time, there may be no escape. 4793486 book 1 3 2009 Silent On The Moor total:523|5:146|4:231|3:121|2:23|1:2| 523 2065 781 165 5 8 false false Thu Jan 15 11:13:37 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 09:41:08 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 2 false false Sat Mar 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 07 14:33:23 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 21 04:02:05 -0700 2009
Finally the love story between Julia Grey and Nicholas Brisbane is taking shape. While this is a good book, I wasn't as captivated by the mystery as with the first two installments of this series.
