I ended up not finishing this book. Maybe I read it too closely on the heals of The Dark Road to Darjeeling, but I'd had too much of Lady Julia's TSTL behavior and set it aside.
She wasn't THIS bad in Dark Road. While reading Enquiry it was frustrating to see her repeat the same type of selfish/stupid behavior and magnify it.
ETA: I wondered about her characterization. As the pampered daughter of an eccentric earl, she presumably was accustomed to getting what she wanted, so the self-centered bit was probably in character. But Raybourn kept telling me that she was smart but showing me that she was TSTL.
