Silent in the Grave is the first in the Lady Julia Grey series by Deanna Raybourn. It has dropped to $1.99 at Amazon US. Silent was a finalist for a couple of awards when it was published, and I've read and enjoyed several titles in this series.

(Check carefully if you already have this - this is apparently a new version uploaded separately. I purchased this title back in June of 2014, and it shows up in "manage my content", but this version doesn't show on its webpage that I have it. I hate it when they do that!)

Also note that there are two omnibuses (omnibi?) of titles in this series for $8.49 each - these may be better deals if you don't have any of them.

Return to the beginning of Deanna Raybourn's adored Lady Julia Grey's Victorian mystery series, and be carried off by adventure…

"Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. "

These ominous words are the last threat that the darling of London society, Sir Edward Grey, receives from his killer. Before he can show them to Nicholas Brisbane, the private inquiry agent he has retained for his protection, Sir Edward collapses and dies at his London home, in the presence of his wife, Julia, and a roomful of dinner guests.

Julia is outraged when Brisbane visits and suggests that Sir Edward has been murdered. It is a reaction she comes to regret when she discovers the damning paper for herself, and realizes the truth. Determined to bring her husband's murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.
