From the national bestselling author of A Brush with Shadows comes a riveting historical mystery featuring a most “unusual and romantic”* female sleuth—Lady Kiera Darby.
 
Scotland, 1831. Lady Kiera Darby is thrilled to have found both an investigative partner and a fiancé in Sebastian Gage. But with her well-meaning sister planning on making their wedding the event of the season, Kiera could use a respite from the impending madness.
 
After she’s commissioned to paint the portrait of Lady Drummond, Kiera is shocked to find her client prostrate on the floor. Both a physician and Lord Drummond appear satisfied to rule her death natural, but Kiera is convinced that poison is the real culprit.
 
Now, armed only with her knowledge of the macabre and her convictions, Kiera intends to discover the truth—no matter what, or who, stands in her way…

Praise for A Study in Death

"A riveting debut...an original premise, an enigmatic heroine, and a compelling Highland setting...a book you won't want to put down."--Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author of the Lady Julia Grey novels


"Lady Darby is an engaging new sleuth to follow...[A] history mystery in fine Victorian style!"--Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author


"Huber's protagonist is complex and likeable and the well-plotted mystery is filled with fascinating secondary characters...You'll be engaged right to the end." --RT Book Reviews

"Huber's debut...reads like a cross between a gothic novel and a mystery with a decidedly unusual heroine." --Kirkus Reviews




Praise for MORTAL ARTS
Set largely in Scotland in 1830, Huber's well-done sequel to 2012's The Anatomist's Wife includes all the ingredients of a romantic suspense novel, starting with a proud and independent heroine...Strong and lively characters as well as believable family dynamics, however, elevate this above stock genre fare."
