Have you tried the Raybourne books? I have to look up the names...
...okay, it's Deanna Raybourn. I believe they're in the MIRA or HQN imprint. The series is "Lady Julia Gray". These are romantic historical mysteries (meaning, the "romance" part is only a part, and doesn't develop in a single book).
- Silent in the Grave
- Silent in the Sanctuary
- Silent in the Moor
- The Dark Road to Darjeeling
- The Dark Inquiry
I also have a book "The Dead Travel Fast" listed for her, but I don't have it listed as a Lady Julia Gray.
