Mortal Arts

Lady Darby, Book 2

By: Anna Lee Huber

Narrated by: Heather Wilds

After her foray into murder investigation, Lady Kiera Darby must journey to Edinburgh with her family so that her pregnant sister can be close to proper medical care. But the city is full of many things Kiera isn't quite ready to face: the society ladies keen on judging her, her fellow investigator (and romantic entanglement) Sebastian Gage, and ultimately, another deadly mystery. Kiera's old friend Michael Dalmay is about to be married, but the arrival of his older brother, William, has thrown everything into chaos. For ten years Will has been missing, committed to an insane asylum by his own father. Kiera is sympathetic, especially when rumors swirl about a local girl gone missing. Now Kiera must once again employ her knowledge of the macabre and join forces with Gage in order to prove the innocence of a beloved family friend.

Critic reviews

"The mystery is well plotted, with many unique twists that stem from Lady Darby's unconventional role in life." ( RT Book Reviews)

Intense

Wow another suspense mystery with Keira and Gaye ending up together again.
Difficult topic of the asylums that people were put into during this timeframe. Usually not for the right reason

Wills story was heartbreaking and I just so badly wanted him to be able to live life again. You will have to read to find out who I am talking about.

Narration was perfect and this author is amazing as she pulls you into the story and does not let go.

You are there.

Very enjoyable!

Again, another great listen. Starts s little slow, but the character development is good and the story line continues to grow and get better. So enjoy these books.
