Silent on the Moor

De: Deanna Raybourn

Narrado por: Ellen Archer

In Grimsgrave Hall, enigmatic Nicholas Brisbane has inherited a ruined estate, replete with uncanny tenants and one unwanted houseguest: Lady Julia Grey. 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. Deanna Raybourn spins a gripping tale of loyalty and lust, set against the wild beauty of the Yorkshire moors.©2009 Deanna Raybourn (P)2009 Audible, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Fans of romantic mystery could ask no more." ( Kirkus )

An excellent series.

I have been pleasantly pleased with this series. The narrator is exceptional always using the perfect "voice" to enhance the character bringing that person and the dialogue to life. The author also writes exceptional dialogue.
The story is very good and the tension and ties that bind ALL of the characters together leads to some incredible chemistry between the characters. Ms. Raybourne always puts in some good red herrings to throw one off the scent and you usually can't guess "who did it" until the very end and that is very refreshing......Enjoy.

Simply wonderful!

A wonderful gothic feeling story which is one of my favorites!

The moors, the ruined castle, the secrets and suspense and the tragic hero! Superb! Plus they finally get together!!

The best book

This is my favorite of the series so far. Not usually a harlequin reader, the characters are well developed and the plots are twisty enough to be quite interesting. I've listened to this book a couple of times now and do not tire of it.

Great series

I binge-read (listened) to all the books in this series. They are all very good. There are a few minor issue with the narrator - words mispronounced for example - but I liked these a lot!

Love This Series!

I love this series! These historical/romantic suspense novels are so well written, with complex characters, that I hate when the story ends. For me the romance between Brisbon and Lady Julia is hotter than some of the more explicitly sexual romances I have read. It took a while for them to decide, one way or the other, to be together. But the wait was worth it. The mystery of what was really going on in Grimsgrave Hall was also executed well and kept me guessing. If you haven't read the first two books in this series, "Silent In The Grave" and "Silent In The Sanctuary", I recommend reading these books first to truly appreciate this series.
