Anna Lee Huber: A Fatal Illusion
Lady Darby #11
Anna Lee Huber’s most outstanding quality as a writer is her educated heart. The way she parses human relationships is nothing short of brilliant. In the latest Lady Darby outing, she and her husband, Sebastian Gage, are summoned to the bedside of his disagreeable father – Lord Gage has been shot as he was making his way home via coach. It’s 1832 Yorkshire and travelling the highways could be dangerous – not only was Lord Gage shot (luckily in the leg) but one of his servants has been killed. Sebastian is suffering from a plethora of emotions, all expertly dissected by Huber.
