A Brush with Shadows
A Brush with Shadows | Anna Lee Huber

Sebastian Gage returns home to battle the ghosts of his past and prevent them from destroying his future with Kiera in the latest exciting installment in this national bestselling series. July 1831. It's been fifteen years since Sebastian Gage has set foot in Langstone Manor. Though he has shared little with his wife, Lady Kiera Darby, about his past, she knows that he planned never to return to the place of so many unhappy childhood memories. But when an urgent letter from his grandfather reaches them in Dublin, Ireland, and begs Gage to visit, Kiera convinces him to go. All is not well at Langstone Manor. Gage's grandfather, the Viscount Tavistock, is gravely ill, and Gage's cousin Alfred has suddenly vanished. He wandered out into the moors and never returned. The Viscount is convinced someone or something other than the natural hazards of the moors is to blame for Alfred's disappearance. And when Alfred's brother Rory goes missing, Kiera and Gage must concede he may be right. Now, they must face the ghosts of Gage's past, discover the truth behind the local superstitions, and see beyond the tricks being played by their very own eyes to expose what has happened to Gage's family before the moors claim yet another victim...

Finished this one last night. I‘m really loving this series. This one you got to learn more about Gage‘s background and family history. This is the 6th book in the series.

It‘s hard to say things I haven‘t previously said about these books.

I finally got my Christmas presents from my family on Easter, which included B&N gift cards. I was going to hold off on ordering anything, but then I decided to get the rest of the published books in this series.

I have a feeling I‘ll need a lot of comfort reads in May, and this series hasn‘t disappointed me yet. And now I‘ll have them on my bookshelf when I need them.

This book was beautifully written and bittersweet, as is life often when it comes to families. These books keep getting better and I somehow grow to care even more about the main characters each time I read one. I'm so glad I discovered this series several years ago and eagerly await the next book, which comes out in April.

CoverToCoverGirl This series is dear to my ❤️ too! So well written. (edited) 6y

I have 50 pages left. 50! But it's 2am and I can barely keep my eyes open. Why do the Lady Darby books always do this to me?

I love the fact that when a series goes long enough you eventually get to examine the back story of a variety of characters. In this book we learn more about what events shaped Sebastian in his youth and continue to haunt him today. Set on those ever moody moors, this mystery's end was bittersweet and not where I thought it was going. A tale of how sometimes you need to revisit the past to start anew, and how secrets and rumor can affect us all.

Lynnsoprano I love this series and all of this author‘s books. 6y
booksandsympathy Thanks for reminding me it had come out. Just requested it from the library. 6y

I love this series! I‘m really sad that I‘m caught up because now I have to wait till next year for the next installment. Kiera and Gage are amazing @ErinSueG can‘t wait for you to catch up!

Erinsuereads All the covers are so gorgeous!! I‘m like twenty minutes from the end of A Grave Matter! 7y
Crewgurl Ahhh can‘t wait to hear how you liked it!!! @ErinSueG 7y
Erinsuereads So good! Stewart was a great character and I did not expect that ending! Gage‘s man being ordered to sing for them at the end was killing me. I cracked up. 7y

I was going through my #kindle and came across this book. I had completely forgotten I had downloaded it! Before I embark on the rest of the Lady Julia series, I will be finishing this one so I stay caught up on this series. #historicalfiction #historicalmystery

Mehso-so

I liked this. I finally found that series that not reading the rest really didn‘t matter much. Though I am intrigued enough to go back and catch up. This really falls into thumbs up not necessarily a rock on or the meh the sideways thumb conveys to me.

This series just keeps getting better. Kiera and Gage are engaging characters, and the mystery kept my interest, and kept me guessing, throughout. The dynamics of Gage‘s dysfunctional family and the evocative setting lift this above your average historical mystery. 5⭐️

robinb Totally agree! This series is so engaging! So happy I stumbled upon it. 😊❤️ 7y
Lynnsoprano @robinb I picked this up on a recommendation from Deanna Raybourn of the first book and was immediately hooked 😄 7y
robinb @Lynnsoprano Two wonderful writers! ❤️❤️ Love them both. 7y

#humpdaypost 1. My favorite Tervis tumbler that @Ambrosnazzy says I need to leave to her in my will😊 2. Anne with an E on Netflix. Hubby and I are both enchanted. 3. A Brush With Shadows. It was just released yesterday and I‘m already halfway through it. Absolutely recommend. 4. Rain today for the first time in quite a while. It‘s supposed to be postcard weather tomorrow. 5. Traditional one piercing in each ear😎

Just finished this ARC of the latest in the Lady Darby series. Always nice to catch up with this group of characters. This finds them called to Sebastian‘s childhood home by his ailing grandfather, who he hasn‘t seen in 15 years, to solve the mystery of his missing cousin (heir to his grandfather). Family feuds, secrets, poisonings, curses...it has it all! Enjoyed learning more about Sebastian‘s background in this one. Thanks #NetGalley! 4/5⭐️❤️❤️

Jess_Read_This I really enjoyed this one too! I liked that we got to see more of Sebastian‘s background in this book as the others were more on Keira‘s. I have loved this entire series. 7y
robinb @Jess_Read_This I agree. I was beginning to wonder when the mystery of Sebastian‘s background would ever be revealed! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Every book in this series is wonderful. ❤️ 7y

OK, I‘ve been putting this off because it‘s a favorite series of mine, and I did not want to have to begin wishing for the next one already (not out until next year). But this one drops the first week of March, so I need to bite the bullet. So while I‘m eagerly looking forward to visiting with old friends, I‘m already dreading the “see you laters”. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks #NetGalley!

Erinsuereads More lady darby books!!!??? YESSSSSSS! I‘ve only read the first! 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 I felt this way about the Poldark series. Book 12 I put off for so long! 💕💕💕 sending hugs for you, I understand Book emotions 😢 7y
Zelma I both love and hate that feeling - love that I am getting more time with a favorite author and hate that i will soon have less of their work to read. 7y

robinb @CoverToCoverGirl I know, right?! I was resigned to waiting until March so this was a happy surprise. 😊 7y
Bookzombie I love this series, but I always listen to them on audio. I love the accents. ☺️ 7y
robinb @Bookzombie I‘m not an audio person but hearing those accents WOULD be an incentive! 👍🙌😊 7y
