Silent in the Sanctuary Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A solid mystery-romance, although truly nowhere near a bodice-ripper. Characterization has been strong throughout the series, and the whodunits themselves are generally well-plotted. (I'm not a standard mystery reader, however, so maybe they'd be easier for someone else to suss out ahead of time.) "

" I sat down and read this book in one large gulp. Another wormhole book, it even stood up to the frequent interruptions of my current fetch-and-carry lifestyle. "

" I love love love this author. More than a hint of romance with a well written mystery thrown in, dying for the next book to be published. I finished this book over two days. Excellent character development. "

" will now HAVE to read the rest of this series - love Julia "

" I just spent an entire rainy Saturday reading this book in bed - pure indulgence! It's been so many years since I've done this that I'm not certain if the 4-star rating reflects more on the novel or the experience, but I enjoyed it immensely! "

" I really enjoyed this second book in her series more than the first. These characters are wonderfully developed and her writing just sucks you right in!! She ties things together so well and the mystery is great!! "

" This is the second in a new series featuring Lady Jane Grey. I'd say the author is improving with age... the second book kept me guessing much better than the first (Silent in the Grave). If you like victorian mysteries in the vein of Anne Perry's Charlotte Pitt and Monk... then try this new series. "

" A sequel to Silent in the Grave, Sanctuary further develops the characters, all of whom are interesting. A fun read. "

" I found this one much faster to get through... and felt that the relationship between Julia and Brisbane moved forward enough that I hope something more happens next time! I think I have found another type of novel to enjoy! Now I have to wait until March 2009 for the next one! "

" A fun mystery. "

" Loved this book even more than "Silent in the Grave"! A great series! "

" Entertaining Christmas mystery. "

" my mom read and it and really liked the first book, but by the 3rd book, she expected Lady Julia to get her act together. "

" More of the same - the mystery was better. Seeing more of the family was nice. Things got more involved between the hero and heroine. The book pulled me through more solidly than the first. "

" The Lady Julia series is my latest Beach Book/Guilty pleasure read. Not my usual fare, but I can't help but get sucked in! The coolness of the Victorian England setting help these mysteries suit grey February days perfectly. "

" Fantastic book, great mystery, lots of different threads that all came together, can't wait to reread the next book! "

" I think I may have loved this one more than I did Silent in the Grave. And I'm slightly in love w/ Brisbane. I may need a time machine to go beat up Julia and steal him. Or at least hang out with Portia, Jane, and Puggy! "

" Fun second installment! I like how this hero and heroine are not neat and tidy and entirely co-dependent. It's more like a UFC cage fight. And the March family are a great supporting cast! "

" Book #2 in the "Lady Julia Grey" series by Deanna Raybourn...super. It's like the show Moonlighting, but Victorian and of course in book form. Quick to read, engaging, and a nice interplay between the two lead characters. "

" A fun Victorian murder mystery that introduces Lady Julia Grey, perhaps the most normal of a wildly eccentric family, who, in investigating her husband's mysterious death, finds herself, her own voice--and just perhaps the possibility of a true love match. "

" Started trying historical mystery/romance. Surprised by how much I enjoyed it. So tackled the next in the series for easy reading... "

" Excellent mystery set in the Victorian age. The characters are engaging and the setting is very well drawn. Now on to the next one... "

" Kind of a cross between Jane Austen and Sherlock Holmes novels. I really liked it! "

" I enjoyed this intriguing novel set in 1880's London. There were shocking twists and unexpected turns. I will read more in this series. "

" Somewhat similar to the Lady Emily books, however they are a bit darker in subject. Great side characters. "

" This is a fun book with interesting characters and lots of historical details. It’s pretty much a romance novel for people who don’t read romance novels (like myself). "

" Fun for the Brit Victorian lover. Clever female narrator and pretty good historical setting. "

" I so enjoyed this book, I can't wait to start the second in the series! "

" I really enjoyed the characters in this one. It does not have graphic, detailed scenes, but you should be warned that there are people living different lifestyles than I would approve of. It is a lot more sad, though, than celebrating those lifestyles. "
