   Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) harishwriter | Oct 12, 2023 |  An enjoyable and well-written mystery, with the romance developing more between Gage and Kiera. (  ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | cshalizi | May 6, 2020 | Kiera seeks the assistance of Gage and the two of them start an investigation that involves the Edinburgh underworld and a pretender to the Scottish Throne. I like this series and the characters and it's good to see someone have emotions on the page. Kiera is quite depressed at the beginning of the book and most of her family are quite worried about her but by the end she has found a purpose in her life.

 I love historical mysteries and have read the previous two books in the series but I did find myself bored and distracted easily. In A Grave Matter, there is only 1 murder and a series of grave robberies of prominent, old men. The grave robbers send notes to the family and in exchange for the bones of their relatives, they demand money. Lady Darby finds herself helping Mr. Gage catch the thieves. Kiera's relationship with Gage heats up but the cat and mouse game aggravated me. *Spoiler alert* They do finally get engaged by the end of the book. Kiera gets a break in this time. Instead of getting herself kidnapped like usual, her beau Mr. Gage, is in need of saving from the bad guys. I swear with their ability to get kidnapped by the murderers at the end of the book is inspiration for what would be the Nancy Drew series in the future. While I didn't particularly like this book, I didn't love it either. It's missing something I can't quite put my finger on. But if you've been reading the series like me and are also a serial series finisher you may like it. Happy reading! 📚 Gehört zur ReihePrestigeträchtige Auswahlen

Returning to her childhood home, Lady Kiera Darby hopes her beloved brother Trevor and the merriment of the Hogmanay Ball will distract her. But when a caretaker is murdered and a grave is disturbed at nearby Dryburgh Abbey, Kiera is once more thrust into the cold grasp of death. While Kiera knows that aiding in another inquiry will only further tarnish her reputation, her knowledge of anatomy could make the difference in solving the case. But agreeing to investigate means Kiera must deal with the complicated emotions aroused in her by inquiry agent Sebastian Gage. When Gage arrives, he reveals that the incident at the Abbey was not the first-some fiend is digging up old bones and holding them for ransom. Now they must catch the grave robber . . . before another victim winds up six feet under. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
