I really enjoyed Ms. Huber's book and have the first of the series on my desk to read this week. Her protagonist, Lady Kiera Darby, is well-drawn and intelligent. (I appreciate intelligent female protagonists.) Darby's love interest, a man named Gage, is enjoyable (if predictable). Her foray into anatomy and medical, particularly the unfortunate treatment of mental illness in the early 1800s, is a unique aspect of her work. And her research is evident, with attention to detail that I enjoy.I will read more of Ms. Huber's writing, and look forward to it.
