"Silent in the Grave"
"Silent in the Sanctuary"
"Silent on the Moor"
by Deanna Raybourn
"To say that I met Nicholas Brisbane over my husband's dead body is not entirely accurate..." is a good beginning for a murder mystery. I've read the first two of these "Lady Julia Grey/Nicholas Brisbane" tales and enjoyed both.
They're reminiscent of Carole Nelson Douglas's "Irene Adler/Sherlock Holmes" novels.
They're available at the publisher's web site, Fictionwise, and the dark fortress of the Kindle empire.
