#127 – Nine Coaches Waiting by Mary Stewart (HarperCollins, reissue 2001, c.1958)
"A strange terror coiled in the shadows behind the brooding elegance of the huge chateau. It lay there like some dark and twisted thing -- waiting, watching, ready to strike. Was it only chance encounter that had brought Linda Martin to Chateau Valmy? Or was it something planned? The lovely young English governess did not know. She only knew something was wrong and that she was afraid. Now she could not even trust the man she loved. For Raoul de Valmy was one of them -- linked by blood and name to the dark secrets of the de Valmy past."
Rating: Excellent - 5 stars

Silent in the Grave
Raybourn's debut novel is a stellar achievement in Victorian murder mysteries, skillfully painting the setting in bold, vivid strokes, while realisitically portraying a collection of quixotic relatives and strong-willed female characters. The sparks fly between the hero and heroine and the sexual tension between them is palpable.
