The Dark Enquiry

This novel and the entire series is a guilty pleasure. It's a wonderful, light, and entertaining combination of historical fiction and mystery.

I started this book as soon as it arrived, but had to put it down to meet some deadlines, but as soon as I could I jumped back in and devoured it. Every book gets better than the last. I cannot wait for our adventure to Rome, Italy next! These are the type of stories where it is painful to have to wait a year or so before the next. Alas.I find it ridiculous, but almost everything that I said in my review of book #4 [b:Dark Road to Darjeeling 9396765 Dark Road to Darjeeling (Lady Julia Grey Series #4) Deanna Raybourn http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1288361711s/9396765.jpg 11044197] applies here to book #5. I just plain love it! I love the characters. I love the wit. I love making assumptions and then either finding myself entirely correct or proven wrong. I love the humor and the entertainment. I absolutely adore these novels! Oh and a last minute thought... what an appropriate and accurate portrayal of marriage! Another thing that I love about these novels is that with each one, the reader is able to learn a bit more of the background of our beloved Brisbane as well as of one of Julia's siblings. Every page keeps me yearning for more. Thanks to Deanna Raybourn for providing a copy for review.
