Praise for A Wicked Conceit
"Huber provides plenty of depth and detail about social conditions
and mores in 19th-century Edinburgh, but the human relationships
are the heart of the story. Historical fans will be well
satisfied.”--Publishers Weekly
“A mystery both complex and romantic”--Kirkus
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
