The start of the school year might prompt a new reading plan, such as working through a series one has always wanted to try. For fans of mystery and romance, there are plenty of choices to be had. Deanna Raybourn nicely treads the lines among mystery, historical fiction, and romance in her "Lady Julia Grey" novels. The series begins with Silent in the Grave (Mira: Harlequin. 2010. ISBN 9780778328179. pap. $13.95; ebk. ISBN 9781460393451), in which Lady Julia's husband dies suddenly. The marriage was not a happy one, and the very young widow spends her year of required Victorian mourning planning a much livelier life-with the urging of various members of her madcap family. But just when she can put off her black bombazine she discovers her husband may have been murdered and accepts the aid of the Byronic private detective Nicholas Brisbane. Raybourn astutely develpps the Victorian-era series, making much of Julia's family and the two protagonists.
