Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn
3.0
3.5 stars
A slow start, but the mystery really picks up towards the last quarter of the book. What started off as a generic who-dunnit really gets spicy at the end. I liked the chaste, Victorian era contrasted with the not-so-innocent solution of the who-dunnit.
A very likable main character, decent supporting characters, and an almost unbelievable man-of-many talents love interest makes for a fast read. Even though I filed this into the romance shelf, there was very little heaving bosoms and naughty bits. I'd give it a rated PG if it were a movie.
I recommend this for a quick weekend read.
