4.5 out of 5 stars ~~ Book Review
Grace Burrowes is well into her new series, The Lord Julian Mysteries. And Burrowes is the VERY BEST at writing in the 1800’s. There is no one who comes even close to her accuracy and care with the period. She evokes the people, the places, the animals, and the activities, for her readers to ‘see’. Her flavor never wavers.
Book One, A Gentleman Fallen on Hard Times, is a mystery to the last page. I don’t know why but this reviewer had it in her head that these would be murder mysteries. Not so (so far as I’ve only read book 1), and the stories are richer for it. No spoiler alerts in the form of a synopsis from this reviewer.
I particularly love Burrowes’ rich character development. Lord Julian and Lady Hyperia are perfect protagonists. And Lord Julian Caldicott is a welcomed addition to the list of Burrowes’ characters.
I am so looking forward to reading A Gentleman of Dubious Reputation soon and recommend A Gentleman Fallen on Hard Times to all of my readers. Book Three is out!!
