Silent on the Moor

Overview

This isn't your average eBook...

Prepare to go beyond the page with this ebook exculsive Enriched Edition of Silent on the Moor! It is enhanced with a recipe, list of characters, letter from Lady Julia Grey, and an excerpt from Morga's journal by author Deanna Raybourn that will bring the world of Silent on the Moor to life, all without leaving your screen.

Despite his admonitions to stay away, Lady Julia arrives in Yorkshire to find Brisbane as remote and maddeningly attractive as ever. Cloistered together, they share the moldering house with the proud but impoverished remnants of an ancient family: the sort that keeps their bloodline pure and their secrets close. Lady Allenby and her daughters, dependent upon Brisbane and devastated by their fall in society, seem adrift on the moor winds, powerless to change their fortunes. But poison does not discriminate between classes....

A mystery unfolds from the rotten heart of Grimsgrave, one Lady Julia may have to solve alone, as Brisbane appears inextricably tangled in its heinous twists and turns. But blood will out, and before spring touches the craggy northern landscape, Lady Julia will have uncovered a Gypsy witch, a dark rider and a long-buried legacy of malevolence and evil.

Author Information

Deanna Raybourn

A sixth-generation native Texan, Deanna Raybourn grew up in San Antonio, where she met her college sweetheart. She married him on her graduation day and went on to teach high school English and history. During summer vacation at the age of twenty-three, she wrote her first novel. After three years as a teacher, Deanna left education to have a baby and pursue writing full-time.

Fourteen years and many, many rejections after her first novel, she signed a three-book deal with the MIRA line. "Sex, lies and awesome clothing descriptions" is how one reader has described Deanna's debut novel, Silent in the Grave, published in January 2007. The first in the Silent series, the book follows Lady Julia Grey as she investigates the mysterious death of her husband with the help of enigmatic private inquiry agent Nicholas Brisbane. From the drawing rooms of the aristocracy to a Gypsy camp on Hampstead Heath, Silent in the Grave deftly captures the lush ambience of Victorian London.

The series continues with the second book, Silent in the Sanctuary (January 2008), a classic English country house murder mystery with a few twists and turns for Brisbane and Lady Julia along the way.

Deanna is currently plotting her next book from her current home in Virginia. After one too many hot Texas summers, Deanna and her husband packed up their daughter and their Labrador and moved to the mid-Atlantic state, where they enjoy the fall leaves, but deeply miss good Tex-Mex cooking.

    I really enjoyed reading this whole series. It was not only a romance story but also a mystery, which kept you reading from page to page. If you thought you figured out the who done it .......still needed to continue to read on as you wanted to see the couple finally get together.
