I have only read the first two books.  I liked the first one, "Silent in the Grave" better.  I really thought these would be mysteries.  They are mysteries, but they read more like romance novels.  Yet, there is little romance.Lady Julia sometimes seems quite intelligent and intuitive, particularly in the first book, but at other times she acts quite foolishly.  What she sees in Brisbane is beyond me.  He often seems obnoxious."Silent in the Grave" kept my interest.  I might even have rated it alone as 4 stars.  Much of the second book, "Silent in the Sanctuary" seemed highly improbable and it involved more than one mystery.  I finished it but never felt it was engrossing and it took me a lot longer to read it.  I probably would rate it as 2 stars.  I don't plan to read the third one any time soon.  Maybe one of these days.Perhaps these books would be more appealing to teenage girls or young adults.
