Well done Ms. Raybourn, Well Done. You have once again crafted a tale that has kept me on my toes and had converted me to another one of your faithful chickens.

Lady Julia travels from London to Yorkshire in the hopes of finally settling the matter of her relationship with Brisbain, they have danced around each other bickering and flirting with each other through two mysteries and yet neither has admitted to their feelings for the other. For propriety sake she brings along her sister Portia and her brother Val and is surprised to discover that they are not entirely welcome at his home, especially by the former and impoverish owners but also by Brisbain himself, but Julia refuses to leave until she knows if there is any hope for her and Brisbain. And in doing so lands right in the middle of yet another mystery.

In many ways this was the best of the three books in the series that I have read so far, however the choice victim was a bit off-putting to me. This is undeniably a homage to the Bronte sisters (although at times a back handed one- I loved how the villagers felt about them and their books). Despite too many unread books on my shelves at home I will be purchasing the next book in this series very soon.
