Summary
November 1831. After fleeing London in infamy more than two years prior, Lady Kiera Darby’s return to the city is anything but mundane, though not for the reasons she expected.

Critics Review
Praise for An Artless Demise:
“Anna Lee Huber has done it again! An Artless Demise is an unputdownable story, with an indomitable heroine, a great supporting cast, and a gripping, propulsive narrative with real history at its core.“—USA Today bestselling author Sherry Thomas
“Anna Lee Huber keeps upping her game–An Artless Demise is the perfect blend of history, mystery, and one of my favorite sleuthing couples!“—Susanna Kearsley, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author
“Intriguing, captivating and well-crafted…An Artless Demise immediately captures the imagination.“—Susann Calkins, award-winning author of the Lucy Campion Mysteries and the Speakeasy Murders
Praise for the Lady Darby Mysteries:
“A missing heir, an estranged family, and a possible poisoner add up to a pretty puzzle for two far-from-disinterested sleuths….Huber draws on the beauties and dangers of the mysterious moorlands to provide a fitting setting for a knotty mystery filled with envy, greed, and thwarted love.”--Kirkus Reviews
“Riveting…An original premise, an enigmatic heroine, and a compelling Highland setting.”–Deanna Raybourn, New York Times bestselling author
”[A] history mystery in fine Victorian style!“–Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author
”[A] fascinating heroine…A thoroughly enjoyable read!“–Victoria Thompson, national bestselling author
“Huber’s debut…reads like a cross between a gothic novel and a mystery with a decidedly unusual heroine.”–Kirkus Reviews
“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.”–Publishers Weekly
