review 1: I liked this book when I read it but enjoyed it even more listening to the audiobook. Ellen Archer does an excellent job portraying all of the characters; she has a wide variety of voices for both gentlemen and ladies. I think that this book is perhaps the most romantic of the series, as we see Julia and Brisbane attempting to settle into domestic routine. Except, they really aren't very "settled," and their lives are anything but "routine." Julia is still headstrong, but less annoying to me, and Brisbane reveals emotions that he had long kept hidden. As I understand it, Deanna Raybourn has changed publishers, and consequently the Lady Julia series is finished (except for a series of novellas, the last of which will be released on 3 November 2014). Sigh. I will miss them. ... moreEspecially the delicious Scots-Gypsy Brisbane.
review 2: 4 STARS "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 beloved--if eccentric--family, spirited Julia soon picks up the trail of the investigation.It leads to the exclusive Ghost Club, where the alluring Madame Séraphine holds evening séances...and 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 sake - and more - they'll face myriad dangers born of dark secrets, the kind men kill to keep...." (From Amazon)I continued straight from book four on to the fifth Julia Grey Mystery. Julia and Brisbane are still disagreeing over Julia being apart of his inquiries but this does not stop her from doing it anyway. As Bellmont, Julia's eldest and conservative brother is involved in the case she decides to forge ahead and solve the problem. This novel was classic Julia and Brisbane. less
