The Dark Enquiry by Deanna Raybourn - I have an obsession with Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia novels. There, I've said it. I can't seem to get enough of these fascinating, yet flawed, characters and their adventures. I had this latest installment (fifth in the series) in my hands within a week of its release and now that I've finished it, I will have to wait anxiously for the next one!
Lady Julia and Nicholas Brisbane have returned home to London and are trying to settle into something of a domestic routine, and strike a balance they are both happy with concerning Julia's involvement in Brisbane's private investigation business. As expected with such passionate and quirky characters (with 'help' from Julia's eccentric family), domesticity and routine are more than a little elusive. Soon Brisbane and Julia are involved in the investigation of a Spirit Club and related murders, and are in great danger themselves. Brisbane trusts Julia with more of his mysterious past as they follow the threads of this case through all its twists and turns.
Loved. It. 8-)
