Dark Road to Darjeeling by Deanna Raybourn - This is the fourth Lady Julia Grey novel, and having finished it (in December), I am already impatient for Raybourn to complete the fifth! Julia and Brisbane have married and are nearing the end of their wedding trip when Julia's sister Portia tracks them down begging their help. Their dear friend Jane, who is expecting her first child, has been widowed, and it's suspected that her husband was murdered. The Brisbanes travel to the foothills of the Himalayas and work to uncover the secrets and scandals of the residents in order to solve the murder. There are many twists and turns in the plot, and Julia and Brisbane not only have to face dangers and threats around them, but their own relationship and trust is tested as Julia tries to establish herself as a partner in the investigation, often against Brisbane's wishes. I love Raybourn's witty and unusual characters and their adventures. Her books are hard to put down, and I am always a bit sorry to reach the end. Especially so with this one, as I will have a wait before the next installment in this series will be available!
And did I mention that Deanna Raybourn has become one of my favorite authors? 8-)
By the same author: Silent in the Grave, Silent in the Sanctuary, Silent on the Moor are the previous Lady Julia Grey novels. Also - The Dead Travel Fast
