"Scotland, 1830." Lady Kiera Darby is no stranger to intrigue--in fact, it seems to follow wherever she goes. After her foray into murder investigation, Kiera 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--and Kiera's childhood art tutor--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 to her mentor's plight, 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--and save the marriage of another...

I‘m currently participating in a Lady Darby Read-Along on FB which was created by the author. It‘s so cool! There are currently 9 books in the Lady Darby historical mystery series, and we‘re reading one each month (currently on this second one). We can post comments/questions all along the way and Ms. Huber answers. We have a FB live with her once a month and she gives her insights into writing each book and does a reading. ❤️❤️❤️

annahenke This is such a good series! 3y
robinb @annahenke it‘s one of my very favorites, and it‘s so neat to hear the behind-the-scenes crafting of each book. 3y
Laughterhp I saw that too! I‘m currently on book 7 so I haven‘t been participating! 3y

robinb @Laughterhp 👍👍 You could participate up until book 7? Of course, there would possibly be spoilers for 8 and 9...😬 3y
robinb @CoverToCoverGirl Yes!! I‘m re-reading this one now, and it had been so long I had forgotten some of it...it‘s just reminding me why I loved it in the first place. 3y

I think this book made me love this series even more and make me want to read the rest right now! But I don‘t own them and the libraries are closed, so I can‘t. 😒

But I love Keira and Gage. The mystery of where the girls were, was a bit obvious. I don‘t know if it was supposed to be or not. Will‘s story is so heartbreaking and it‘s insane how people with mental illness were treated back then.

#NutsInMay #Readathon #BookSpinBonanza - Book 5?

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Also, if you're interested you may try Paperback Swap for the ones you're missing? The books aren't completely free, but they only cost what it costs you to mail someone a book, so usually around $3. 4y
hes7 Ooh, I need to continue this series! 4y
Andrew65 Love the way the book looks so well read! Well done. 👏👏👏 (edited) 4y
Laughterhp @Andrew65 That‘s because I bought it used and it was an old library book 😂 This is the first time I‘ve read it. 4y

Started this book last night and am already 180 pages in!! I‘m loving this book, clearly!
This is book 2 in the series and I am probably going to go on and read all 8! I‘m really bad at continuing series 😬😬

Buddy was feeling very needy and was mad I was reading and not paying attention to him 😂 or letting him on the couch 🤷🏻‍♀️

I support my choices 💚

I love how this series had a bit of an edge that many historicals don't have yet it still has that hopeful side too. Lady Darby is the Bomb!

I just discovered the Lady Darcy series by Anna Lee Huber, and I became instantly addicted. The series is set in 1830‘s Great Britain. The main characters have great chemistry, the plotting is well done, and the historical details really add to the series. I finished the first two books in 2 days, and I am feeling grateful it is a 3 day weekend. Highly recommend.

DarcysMom @robinb I stumbled upon the series, and I am so glad I did. 5y
robinb @DarcysMom That‘s how I discovered Huber too...just by happy accident. 😊 Her Verity Kent series is also good...set in WW1 and with another feisty heroine. ❤️ 5y
DarcysMom @robinb Thanks for the rec! I will definitely check the Verity Kent series out. 🤩 5y

Book 2 in the series does not disappoint... it deals with a great mystery and a historically-accurate look at how mental health was treated in the early 19th century.

Erinsuereads I read the first one and loved it! There are like eight of these now I think? 6y

My reading has slowed down lately (blaming all the holiday cheer)so I just finished this last night! But I loved this book - and was frustrated every time I had to put it down until I got to the end.

I thought the mystery was a little more predictable than the first of the series but the continuing character development is wonderful. Immediately ordered book 3 and can‘t wait to get back to Lady Darby and Gage! *sigh*

Nebklvr I enjoy this series! 6y

Mehso-so

This 2nd book was a disappointment after I liked the 1st one so much. It started really slow and took forever to get to the mystery. Even after it got into the mystery, it still moved slow with very little action and way too much time spent in Kiera's head with her thoughts. Everything was over explained. The banter between Kiera and Gage was missing and there wasn't any spark between them.

Another great installment to the Lady Darby mystery series. This one was rather heart wrenching as she became involved in trying to prove a friend's innocence who has suffered horribly from a tragic past. This author does a good job of researching her time and place....enjoying my time in Lady Darby's world. 😊 #romantsy #osrbc 5/5⭐️

While it's not a book specifically set by the sea, tides and boats are important to the story. From one of my favorite authors of historical mysteries, the climax scared me silly. #booksetbythesea #somethingforsept
