 Deanna Raybourn – Silent in the Sanctuary:
Lady Julia returns to her home in Sussex, fresh from a six-month sojourn in Italy. Upon her arrival, family and friends are crowded in her fathers estate, but dark deeds have deconsecrated the abbey. Lady Julia runs into the man she hoped to forget, that compelling man’s name is Nicholas Brisbane – who happens to be among her fathers houseguests. Of course, he is not alone. Julia introduces him to her devoted, younger titled Italian count and shows Nicholas that two can play at flirtation.
In these ancient cloisters, roams a murderer who claims their first victim within the chapel. With this murder, the homecoming celebrations quickly takes a turn and the one who confesses is a member of her own family. She is certain of her cousins innocence. She then resumes her unlikely and deliciously intriguing partnership with Nicholas in setting out to untangle the deceit before another murder takes place. As the abbey is blanketed by a snowstorm, it is up to Julia and Nicholas to answer the most foulest of shrieks of all.
